Shiebler's late 19th century Flora series was largely offered in teaspoons, but also less commonly issued in other forms, such as this pair of 4 5/8" long, .9 T. oz., sugar tongs.
The pattern is Forget-Me-Not, which is set in high relief and clear detail on each arm.
The arch is crimped for strength, while the grips are highly articulated, hairy talon style.
In superb condition and never monogrammed, these are without wear or damage and show a bright, even, finish.
Marks on Shiebler's "winged S" emblem, "Pat'd. 89," and "Sterling."
