This is another glorious pair of tongs. Tongs by Thomas Eustace are fairly rare, cast tongs are also rare, and cast tongs with the incuse duty mark are also rare. The tongs are in perfect condition and have one of the best preserved examples of the Exeter incuse duty mark that I have seen. They also have a delightful monogram marked underneath the bow "EPMM". This is likely to have been engraved somewhat later. Click on any picture to enlarge |
