Condition Report
The sugar nips display general wear commensurate with the age and use. There are general surface marks and scratches and various nicks, cracks and pitting in the metal all over. The hinge mechanism of the arms now appears to be fairly loose so that it does not grip tightly. Halllmarks are clear and legible apart from the town mark, which is now obscured.
