Author	Topic: Gulden tongs
doobees Posts: 277 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 02-18-2003 04:59 PM I have recently acquired these 9 1/2" tongs that I assume to be silver plated sandwich tongs. What I cannot get any information on is the maker. The name of the maker "Gulden" brings to mind Austria, but I've had no luck searching for the maker in any way... The tongs have a shell on one side and a flat paddle on the other side and it is spring loaded. There are no other patterns or decorations. It is marked in three rows - with the top row containing a three point crown with "g" inside (for Gulden?), an oval with 2.3.4 inside, and a square with 6g inside (silver amt.?) Under that row is printed GULDEN and below that BREVETS INTERNATIONAL (International patent.) Does anyone know where I can find information on this manufacturer. I plan to just use these tongs at home but would like to know a bit about their origin. Merci! IP: Logged
Stephen Posts: 625 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 02-18-2003 07:09 PM Gulden is a French firm that began plating in 1934 and is still in business. They have a large factory in Alsace. Their web site is at www.gulden.com. [This message has been edited by Stephen (edited 02-18-2003).] IP: Logged

I like to know the history of what I use at home and your info did the trick. I had tried www.gulden.com and got nowhere. Maybe a typo on my part. I'm glad I tried it again. ------------------ IP: Logged
