Antique Georgian silver sugar tongs

There was a George Nangle registered in London between 1797 and 1819.  There is no indication that this was the same man as George Nangle of Dublin, but we cannot be sure.  These tongs are plain with a thread edge and the usual Irish concave styled arms and shell bowls.  From the shapes of the hallmarks I have dated them at c1806.
