<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gimbler-dave, post: 363372, member: 313&quot;]These came my way several years ago and had been set aside as &quot;just silverplate&quot;. They were completely black with tarnish which I have been slowly cleaning up.&nbsp; Once the Wallace maker mark was uncovered, I thought it would be easy to find a comparable and get some idea of their value, but that has not been the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>As best I can tell, these are in the Floral multi-motif (different flowers on different pieces) pattern which was introduced in 1902.&nbsp; I find plenty of tongs with a claw style bowl, but none like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are moderately large, 7 inches in length, and weigh 78 grams.&nbsp; I really like the art nouveau look that the pattern has.</p><p><br /></p><p>The tongs I do find in this pattern go for $20 to $30.&nbsp; With the size of these, as well as failing to find any comparable at all, I&#039;m thinking I shouldn&#039;t let these go for anywhere near that low of a price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m putting these out here to see what the group thinks, and double check my pattern identification.&nbsp; Any ideas why a Wallace piece would be such a mystery?&nbsp; Thanks!
