Another estate sale find, trying to discover every last treasure with the prices being the way they were. I guess these are basic silver plated salad tongs? I am more interested in the design of these, does anyone know exactly what they are and find other examples? Thanks enjoy!

thanks bellin68 and mustangtony for the loves!
Very nice - and very useful! Are you sure that they're not an alluminum alloy - or other alloy? Has the ghostly glow of old aluminum, also of old silver.
thanks mikkochristmas11 for stopping by! No I am not sure actually, could be anything at this point. The good news is when the close, it is a sold "dink" no long ring like some cheap metal. In the pictures, I agree, the look more like old silver. But in person they dont glow like this. I will tell you one thing..I am going to clean them real good and use them! Later
thanks vetraio50!
