[26-1397]

Sugar tongs 5 1/2" in length in the fiddle pattern.

The stamp is a little flattened. Can anyone help identify the maker etc.



Many Thanks....

From Mappin's book of platers' marks - a very useful little book - that would be the mark of William Page & Co., Birmingham, c.1896, electroplaters.

Thank You so much, I had a quick look online and found William page. Would this be sheffield silverplate as opposed to epns? as there is no EP mark or epns?

Indeed; many electroplaters' marks do not include any variation on the EP / EPNS theme.
