Author	Topic: Help with galloping horse mark
park1226 Posts: 102 Registered: Jun 2005	posted 11-12-2010 12:12 PM [26-2076] I left my comfort zone of Victorian sterling and bought these ice tongs last week at an estate sale to add to my tong collection. The deceased favored Scandinavian design and had many pieces of International Sterling Royal Danish holloware and Northern Lights flatware. I have searched and can not identify the maker of these tongs. They are 7 1/2" long. The mark is etched, not stamped in the inside of the bowl.It features a galloping horse inside a shield. There are strange hatch markings below.I would like to determine the maker and country of origin for these tongs. Any help wold be appreciated. Thanks. IP: Logged
