Ca 1824-40 American Coin Silver Silver Sugar Tongs by John C Farr of Philadelphia
$90.00
A fine pair of scallop-handled sugar tongs retailed in Phildelphia between 1824-40 by John C. Farr. These are in very good condition (two area with file test). These tongs are monogrammed in period script with 'EML' at the top. The marks for John C Farr are extremely clean on these and they are marked at both sides. Really a great example of the mark! Plenty of spring in these tongs. Light surface scratches, but no other damage noted. Some stubborn tarnish. Very nice gauge of silver and well constructed.
Length is: 6.25"
Weight is: 52 grams
