When I bought these sugar tongs, they were described as Welsh, but I am not convinced. Can anyone identify the marks for me. http://www.silversugartongs.com/welsh.JPG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.silversugartongs.com/welsh%20mark.JPG" onclick="window.open(this.href);retu...

I think this is probably William Aitken

Hi,

This mark is William Neale & Son Ltd of Birmingham, date is 1922

I have recently acquired a pair of sugar tongs. Can anyone tell me anything about them? http://www.silversugartongs.com/Dutch221005.JPG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.silversugartongs.com/Dutch221005%20hallmark.JPG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Thanks for ...

Hi, Its a bit difficult to see - do you have a better picture of the marks? It would also help to see a picture of the tongs themselves. On the face of it, this does not look like a British hallmark for the following reasons: The Date letter G should probably be in some form of shield shaped punch. ...

Can anyone help me with idenitfication of the maker and assay office of these tongs. They are a lovely pair of early tongs, I would estimate c1780. They are marked with the Lion Passant and maker's mark only, which means that they must be pre-1784. Unfortunately the Lion passant is a little worn wit...

Thanks very much, I was beginning to despair of ever finding out what they are.

Regards

I think your spoon is London, 1809 by Thomas Dicks. The small "x" looks like a journey-man's mark.

Walter Henry Marks, Samuel Tobias Cohen & John Paul Wilmot were trading as the Wilmot Manufacturing Co. in Birmingham - 1912. This piece is their mark, dated Birmingham 1912.

Hi,

Yes it is London, 1790, but the maker's mark is difficult to decipher. It looks as if it is one mark overstruck on to another. Is it possible to disentagle the mark, perhaps with a close up picture?

I can't see much of the maker's mark, however from your description, could it be Duncan Urquhart & Napthali Hart - they were active in London at this time. see below for some pictures that you may be able to compare with. http://www.silversugartongs.com/london/duncan%20urquhart%20and%20napthali%...

Hi - can you help identify these tongs. I cannot find a reference to the maker or the strange "hour-glass" mark anywhere.
