A lovely pair of silver-plated vintage Reed & Barton "Claw" tipped tongs. Such a stunning pair, with a sleek handle and claw "tips" that have a 3-D like texture to them. Heavier in weight, these tongs are well-crafted and solid. Truly a stunning pair of tongs.
Please note: we have another pair of tongs by Reed & Barton that are very similar but have a tapered middle. A subtle difference but very similar to this pair.
Maker/Hallmarks: Reed & Barton can be found on the inside of the tongs
Measurements: 7 1/2" in length
Condition: Very good vintage condition mild tarnish. There's what we refer to as very mild surface wear (from past handling, etc). Overall, these tongs are in good shape and a vibrant silver tone. Any darker hues you see is from the camera's flash. Cheers.
