colonial tongs
Hi some more help required here please. A pair of silver tongs in another late Victorian pattern with marks I am unable to identify. There is a chance that these might be a heavily plated pair - but they certainly have the right attributes and feel for silver, and no sign of any plate wear.
Many thanks Frank

Re: colonial tongs
Hi Frank,
They're plated I'm afraid. They were made by Alexander Katch, a German, who set up a factory in St Petersburg in Russia in the second half of the 19th century and was in business there until at least c.1910.
The 'GP' stands for 'Galvano Plated'.
