Purchasing information-
The salts appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Some small dints/bumps and minor nicks, also some heavier scratches and contact marks are visible, especially to the interiors. Missing liners. The hallmarks appear slightly rubbed in places but are all still legible, some partial distortion to maker's marks. The set is matching in design and maker to the consecutive lot but they are not of the same date.
