Vintage Sugar Tongs, Wishbone Sugar Tongs, Sterling Silver, Birmingham England, shops CT Burrows, 1923

Your sugar cubes are just hoping for this kind of elegance. This is an exceptional and fine design. The tip of the wishbone is hinged. Squeeze the ends of the wishbone and voila! You have a set of sugar tongs picking up those sticky sweet sugar cubes. You don't want just anybody's hands milling aroung in your sugar bowl or candy dish. It's not civilized!!!!!

Very flexible and I suppose if sugar cubes aren't your thing you could shops pick up a gerkin or two (and I do mean the pickle). 3 1/4" long. Just the best of a design. Hallmarked with Birmingham, CT Burrows, and the date mark for 1923.

Ready to get out the sugar cubes? Or just getting out a pickle?
