Southern coin silver sugar tongs with shell form bowls and shaped handles each stamped J. LEVY in rectangle, monogrammed to one side (CY?C), 6 3/4"L, 1.53 oz troy. Note: This rare mark may be that of Jonas Levy (born England, c. 1799-1808), working Pulaski County, Arkansas c. 1850 and Memphis, Tennessee, 1855-1860+, or of John Israel Levy (born London, 1779- d. Virginia, 1833), working briefly in Augusta, Georgia c. 1807 and Norfolk, VA 1815-1833. A relationship between the two J. Levys has not been established, but seems possible. Jonas Levy does not appear in any census records after the 1860 census.
Slight dent/unevenness at bridge, no repairs, overall very good condition.
