In this Forum we discuss the silver of the United Kingdom, as well as British Colonial silver and Old Sheffield Plate. Past British - Irish Sterling topics/threads worth a look. |

Those spoons are stunning! Tongs are not so shabby either. Rocco in full swing. I wonder was the case a later retail effort or could it be period? IP: Logged |

I am as certain as can be that it is the original case. It is the right style for the period. Having been kept in it for the best part of 300 years helps to explain the condition of the pieces. IP: Logged |

Oh, wow! So crisp! Heart beating faster! If you get a chance, I would love to see the side view of the ends (paws? shells? the part that picks up the sugar) of the tongs. IP: Logged |

 Will this do? David PS I think Schlossy calls them the grips. It can all be very confusing. At one stage I found myself calling both ends of the tongs the grips (!) but I now talk of finger rings for the other end. IP: Logged |
