Help with Scottish sugar tongs
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2008 3:56 am
Hi, can someone help me with these old sugar tongs.
They have tiny hallmarks which are worn.
The maker is WHC, then four hallmarks.
First- very worn - possibly a duty stamp?
Second - Lion Passant (except rearing which is Scottish?)
Third - Thistle (Edinburgh)
Fourth - lower case g
Mt best guess is Edinburgh 1812. I would appreciate your help / comments. Many thanks.
