This is a European-made serving tong in a scissor style. I purchased it when I was collecting silver cutlery and have stored it at home for a long time. The handle has a ring shape, and it's also called a scissor tong. It can be used for serving salads, cakes, cookies, pastries, and even meats, offering a different charm from ordinary stainless steel tongs. Scissor tongs come in various types, from antique silver-plated items with delicate craftsmanship to vintage items from the 1940s to 1970s. This one has a simple design that is easy to use daily. It has discoloration and blackening due to long-term storage in a box. It is stamped "EP ZINC ALLOY," which often indicates that it is a product made of zinc alloy with silver electroplating, but I am not an expert, so the details are unknown. If it is silver-plated, I think the shine and luster will return if you polish it with a silver-specific cleaner. (Afterward, I polished it a little, and it became brighter. ⇒ I have attached images taken with a silver-plated butter knife and pizza cutter purchased in France as a reference.) Because it has an antique and vintage feel, it can also be used for display or as a prop for photography, even with some dullness or stains. Because of its unique scissor-like shape, I think it would be best for you to consider how to use it in a way that suits you. I am sorry that I cannot accommodate requests for price reductions. 【Product Details】 Scissor Tong (scissor-type tong) Made in Italy? Size: Approximately 26.5 cm long x 6 cm wide x 4 cm deep Silver-plated cutlery (silver plating/silver coating)? The type of metal is unknown. There are fine scratches, scuffs, stains, and stains inside the spoon due to aging.
