An elegant set of tongs with thick gauge and crisp hallmarks. Made by Josiah Williams & Co, with assay marks for Exeter, 1878.. A rare bit of provincial English silver, all the moreso as this was assayed in the Exeter office’s final years before it closed in 1882.
A nicely monogrammed “H” to the bow.
Price marked at $300 AUD
Measurements: 15cm length, 60.5 grams.
Very good antique condition. Thick gauge and crisp, well-struck hallmarks.
