Condition Report
All three pairs of sugar tongs display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier spots and patches of tarnishing are visible and the George III pair especially would benefit from a clean and polish. Some deeper scratches and nicks are visible and there is heavier wear around the edges and to the tips of the bowl grips. They are all slightly out of alignment when squeezed together. Some slight rubbing but the hallmarks are all still clear and legible.
