<p>[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 32655, member: 118"]thanks for the replies. so, most likely coal tongs. I would disagree about the veridigris as an argument for not being sugar tongs. Iron gets rusted, brass and copper are covered in veridigris over the time. All the above metals and alloys had been used for various kind of utensils, vessels, pots, kettles, pitchers etc. Silver and silver plated pieces gets nasty too if not taken good care of. I've seen veredigris on solid silver as well. Not sure how is that possible but I've seen it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
