It could also be that of William Godfrey who registered a mark as a small-worker on 8^th January 1772. The mark “WG” can very easily be confused with that of “WC”. These tongs are fascinating in that we see two pairs of exactly identical tongs. This is not unknown, especially with cast tongs as the mould will have been re-usable.
