Purchasing information-
In good overall condition, displaying light general scratches, marks, tarnishing and wear commensurate with the age and use. Hallmarks where present are clear and legible. Would benefit from a clean and polish. Burner to the plated spirit kettle likely to be a replacement as it does not quite appear to be the correct size.
