These are a pair of plain beaded & thread
edge tongs. They are particularly interesting as they were bought with
another (almost) identical pair of tongs that show the same crest. The
other pair of tongs are unusual in that they are marked only with the
maker's mark struck twice and by a previously unknown maker (possibly James
Harmar). They are dated c1784. Click here to see George Smith III maker's marks Click on a picture to enlarge |
