Handsome pair of OLD, VINTAGE sterling silver master asparagus or vegetable tongs in the Strasbourg pattern by Gorham. The overall length is 9 1/8". The condition is wonderful; the pattern is clear with nice oxidation. Notice the pretty piercing above the 4-tined curved claws. There is an identical monogram on both sides of the tongs. The marks are the old Gorham hallmark - STERLING - PAT.97.
