Five Inch Silver Plated Sugar Cube or Pickle Picker in Box - French Antique from 1920s - Sugar Tongs - K3/319

We love to come across these sugar tong pickers quite in France, as although the French still use sugar cubes daily for their coffee, they consider them old fashioned. We think they are superb!  These elegant  French vintage Pickers from the 1920's are fun to use even if you don't take sugar. Push down on the end of the handle and the claws open smoothly to pick up your chosen item...... sugar cube..... Pickles  ..... or something a bit more interesting......in their slightly serrated three-pronged jaws. 


This high quality antique picker, is made in French Engineered Stainless steel with a classy etched zig-zag pattern along the shaft. The prongs are well aligned and the pusher is in good working order. The finger rest is in a daisy shape. The picker is antique and shows signs of use; the plating has some marks that may polish out. The Hallmark and Maker's mark are in the centre of the jaws and can be clearly seen when the picker is open. A very nice antique item that comes in a beautifully decorated box; the box is the original, in heavy card with a white 'linen' finish and golden and green images of Paris - most notably, the Eiffel Tower. The picker is protected by the lid and in addition a folded acetate type of early plastic cover.
