This is a great pair of sterling silver sugar tongs with claw ends made by Wm.B.Durgin of Concord, New Hampshire USA. I believe the pattern is called Chatham. The marks or the D for Durgin, Sterling Pat'd. The box has a gothic engraved initial C, I think. The tongs measure 3.75 inches long and would add elegance to any tea table. Shipping in the US by USPS priority insured with tracking is $8.50.
