FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 11-13-2004 07:47 PM Your tongs' pattern is called Lancaster it was originally offered in 1897. I cannot tell you the age of your tongs since it is possible that Gorham could have made these in the same pattern many years later. A great deal depends on the desirability of a design and it's ability to stand the tastes of the times. Hope this helps, Fred IP: Logged
