Sugar Tongs help with maker and date please

[lupitt]

Hello again

I can't identify the maker of these plated sugar tongs. Also, is it possible to date them from the stamps?

Many thanks once again,

Lucy

Hi Lucy,

That's Henry Wilkinson & Co. Ltd.

It's possible to date these to within the 20 year period of 1872-1892. They became Ltd. in 1872 and were acquired by Walker & Hall in 1892.
