Description: Up for sale is this unique old tongs.I believe they are for ice , as they are on the larger side.They are made of sterling silver and are so marked.Made by Whiting.I believe the pattern s called Athenian.They have a unique crest and motto engraved on the end. I believe Dum Spiro Spero is the motto of South Carolina. These probably warrant further investigation.The tongs measure approx. 5 1/2" in length.The arms seem slightly offset , so the claws interlock when closed.I'm not sure if these are a little bent , or intentionally made this way.See photos.As found in a local estate.See my other listings for more silver from the estate.
