Antique AUSTRO HUNGARIAN 800 Sterling Silver SUGAR TONGS / Budapest Austria
Fresh from a local estate. Please see my other auctions, as I will be listing a HUGE assortment of flatware, hollowware, and some very rare serving pieces from this lovely pattern. All in excellent condition.
Marked with the Dianakppf or Diana's Head mark, with a "3" for .800 Silver, and a "P" for PEST (Budapest). This mark was used from 1872 to 1922.
Tongs measure 4" long.
Total weight: 54 grams (1.74 Troy ounces)
In excellent, gently used, vintage condition, with no bends, breaks, cracks, pitting, or repairs. This piece has been stored away for many years, and has not been recently polished.
Guaranteed to be antique, and not a modern reproduction.
SAVE ON SHIPPING! If you purchase multiple pieces from this pattern, please wait for a combined shipping invoice with all your purchases listed, as the combined shipping discount is only offered when items are paid with one payment transaction.
SAVE ON SHIPPING! I am happy to ship multiple items together for discounted shipping. To take advantage of shipping discounts, items must be paid WITH ONE PAYMENT TRANSACTION. If you are purchasing multiple items, and ebay's invoice does not automatically calculate the correct discounted shipping charge, then PLEASE request a combined shipping invoice with all your purchases listed BEFORE making payment.
Some unusually large or heavy items require their own shipping box, and do not qualify for combined shipping. Also, in most cases, books will be shipped via Media Mail, and cannot be shipped with glass or pottery items.
As you can see by my feedback, I am known for extremely fast packaging and shipping. Normally, paid items are shipped the next business day. I understand that buyers are sometimes anxious for receipt of their purchases, but during unusually busy periods, please allow up to two business days for shipping.
Please do not ask me to falsify customs documents.
Import duties, taxes and charges, if any, are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs might be prior to bidding/buying.
