Purchasing information-
In fair condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The swing handle is loose, with a tendency to fall as opposed to self support. Minor nicks to the centre. Remnants of polish visible in between the decoration, would benefit from a clean. Hallmarks slightly rubbed but still legible.
