Condition Report

The tongs appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The central hinge is loose and would benefit from being tightened. The hallmarks and maker's marks appear a little rubbed and distorted but are still legible.
