Unusual and striking, these coin silver sugar tongs are 6 3/8" and in excellent condition, with no bends or dents. They have long arms with squared shoulders. There is a bright cut cartouche around a period monogram. It is marked 4 times with a script "JS". I have not located this mark but am basing my guess an the first 2 letters in the "J Sayre" mark. New York Ca 1805.

Most everything about it: the floral four toed feet, chased foliage with "ring matted" background (see Forbes, plate 41), silversmith's center punch on the top (see fourth photo), the overall heft and construction suggest that it was made in Canton province.

These 3 coin spoons are 8 3/4" and in nice condition. There are only a couple of small dents in the bowls and no bowl wear. These are probably not a set because the monograms are different, 2 with "Almira Brett" and one with "Ella" both on the back. One is marked "L.Studley" and the other 2 "D.F. Studley"(a family of Studleys?). I am unable to find their location. My New England attribution is based on the pattern. Ca 1845/50.
