Hello I’m new here and looking for some help.
I have some sugar tongs but I am struggling with identifying the hallmarks.
Just looking to find out if they have any value or, as I suspect, just junk.
Thank you for any help

These are typical of electroplate marks - they do not constitute a silver hallmark. The 2 letters at the right hand end are D G. Unfortunately this mark does not appear in my normal go-to lists of electroplate marks so I am unable to identify the manufacturer.
In summary the tongs have no particular value as there is no appreciable silver content.

Thank you so much Phil,
I had that impression and believe they had been kept more as a keepsake than because of any real value.
