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 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.

They all have the same monogram but different signatures. Two are marked John Stevenson of Pittsburg and the thirs is marked Wynn and Baldwin, whom I can't find but are probably from Pittsburg also. Ca 1850. The signatures are decernable but worn, hence no picture.
