Only one sterling silver handle has a few slight, minor 'burrs' where the sterling was disturbed, coming into contact with a harder metal, occurring previously, most likely during cleaning.

 DESCRIPTION:
Very handsome. Estate fresh & new to the mrktplc. The salad tongs have very clean stainless steel heads, without any edge disturbances. Only one sterling slvr (.925) handle has a few slight, minor 'burrs,' where the strlng slvr was dstrbd, cmng into cntct w/a hrdr mtl, occurring prev, most lkly during cleaning. No attempt has been made to polish out or buff these shallow nicks, of which there are two, seen on the edge of one of the tongs. Now 63-73 yrs old, they seem as modern today as when they were orig fashioned in the 1950's. The edges of the ovoid heads are somewhat sharp, making grabbing greens & added cut vegetables an easier task. Very scarce. When a pr of pedestrian, run-of-the-mill salad tongs just won't suffice. Sleek Danish Modern styling. These are the '5th gen F-22 Raptor fighter jets' of salad tongs. They're rdy to fire up the beautiful, exotic artisan salad you've prepared for friends or family on your dinner table. Top shelf. Splendid.
