Hallmarks fleur de lis, eagle and more?

I have a rather plain set of small tongs with marks I haven't found yet. It is marked in two places with 925/1000 (?) Sterling and in one place with the fleur de lis(?) and eagle(?) I can't make out the symbol next to Sterling. Any thoughts? Appreciate it.

 

Towle Silversmiths had a fleur de lis and eagle mark. Their Lion rampant inside a script capital T (lying on its side in comparison to the other parts of the mark) is often worn which might explain the rest.

 

Here's a link to a page with Towle's lion mark and history. I found the fleur and eagle in Rainwater.

How about a picture of the handle? How plain is "plain?"

 

Ah. Here we go. Rainwater notes that the fleur de lis and eagle mark was used on a line Towle called La Fayette Silverware.

 

I had heard confusing references to Towle but hadn't found any marks online like this so didn't know what to think. Thanks to you and your excellent skills I did find it now and the Fleur de lis sort of makes sense. It is small tongs from Towle La Fayette and I found a catalog page showing the piece and marks. Can't get much better than that! Thanks so much!

 

You're very welcome!

 

Just inherited a 6-piece set of sterling. At one end on the back of the handle are the tiny fleur de lis and what looks like a bird. At the other end, it says "sterling" and to the left o that two tiny squares which I can't make out. The front is monogrammed with the first initial of my last name. Any help welcome.

 

WELCOME Mary !!! ... Joy.
