<li>Some hinge pins sticking out a little bit.
<li>Tray with some patches of heavier tarnishing and also some deeper scratches to the plain centre and underside.
<li>Surface wear and rubbing to some of the hallmarks but mostly clear and legible with part hallmarks to lids.

Fellows does not guarantee the standard of silver unless an item is hallmarked. Results from electronically tested items should only be used as a guide and with caution, as false readings are possible.
