Edward Betts registered a mark some time between 1773 and 1800. A mark was then registered under the name Edward Betts & son some time between 1803 and 1807. Unfortunately I know no more about these makers and cannot find any references to them in any literature. Tongs by these makers are very rare. Both of these pairs of tongs are hallmarked for 1807/08.
