Tongs marked B & S.D

Post by moonshine »

Hello All. I'm having some difficulty with the Maker's Mark on these Tongs.
I can't seem to find a B & S.D
They measure 6 1/2 inches long, and weigh 56.5 grams.
Thank you for any information.

Hi,

These look like American Coin Silver. I'll move the topic to that section.

Second time I've been fooled by pseudo marks on American coin silver. I'll try not to let it happen again. Thanks Wev.
