A pair of Welsh sugar tongs, chip carved and with two glass pannels and carved hearts and circles.One has the name Mrs Roberts and the other Souvenier and the date 19, 1888. A minor nibble to one of the tips.
These love tokens were given as thank you gifts from the striking workers at the various quarries ,hence they are always addressed to a miss or mrs rather than a first name or initials. They are made of Sycamore and measure 16cm l x 2.5cm w.
These gifts were made by the striking quarry workers and given as a token of thanks to those who donated weekly to the strike fund.
