Sterling Silver Tongs Hallmark Identification

[patack]

Hi,

Is this hallmark familiar to anyone? I've had no luck in my research.
Not sure of age, but I purchased from a New England Antique Dealer over 40 years ago.

Hallmark appears to be an eagle
Full marks: Sterling (hallmark) 1212
Don't know what the 1212 represents either.
