I have put these 3 pairs of sugar tongs under flatware because they are early patterns rather than flatware. These are about 6 1/8" and in wonderful condition. They are substantial and have no bends, cracks, or repairs. The patter is as crisp as I have ever seen with every detail sparkling. They are marked "Cary, Boynton & Woodford" with whom I am not familar.
These sugar tongs are 6 1/2". The pattern is crisp with no wear. However, on one side, just above the basket, there is a bend resulting in a tiny crack on both sides. They are usable as is. The mark is "Stebbins & Howe" who worked in New York 1830/1832.
These 6 3/8" sugar tongs are substantial and in nice condition, with no dents, bends, or breaks. Unfortunately they have been polished extensively and the pattern is somewhat worn. They are marked on both sides, but the mark is also worn. Ca 1830/35.
These 6 1/8" teaspoons are not perfect, but then they are 150+ years old. They have slight bowl wear and a few dents. The pattern is worn from polishing. There are no repairs or cracks. The mark is a head, G and a standing lion. Ca 1835.
These 5 7/8" teaspoons are in good condition. The bowls are good with only one pin prick dent and no tip wear. There are no bends or repairs. The pattern is good with polishing wear. Most of the basket cross hatching is gone, but the flowers have pretty good detail. It is marked "Geo A Hoyt" and a head, D, and eagle. Ca 1830/35.
