Condition Report
All three pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Also some small surface dints/bumps. The beaded rim of the salt is very rubbed and has lost much of the surface detail. Engraved initial is also very worn. Dense, deep scratches visible to the interior. The hallmarks appear rubbed but still legible. One of the pepper pot lids appears jammed in place as it cannot be easily removed. The maker's marks and hallmarks are very rubbed and faint and completely worn away in places. Part hallmarks to removable lid are clear and legible (lion passant and date letter).
