Description

The listing, Vintage Maybe Antique Silver Plate Meat Serving Tongs has ended.

This is a silver plate (marked on the joint of the server) meat server/tongs. I have not polished them. I will leave that up to the high bidder. There may be some silver wear off of them, but it is hard to tell without polishing them. They are in good vintage condition. Enjoy!!!

As a silver collector and art historian student, I can tell you that this is a cake/pie server- the shape of the bottom fin gives that information away. Meat "servers" are typically always and only large two-pronged forks. There are hundreds of different types of silverwear, but you just need to look for the same difining similarity. I hope this helps somewhat :) Of course you can now a days use different silverwear pieces for whatever uses you deem fit, unlike back in the older times when people were serious about silverwear and its proper functions.
