Purchasing information-
The salts, spoons and liners all appear in good overall condition, displaying some light surface wear, marks and scratches and some tarnishing to the silver. A couple of very minor surface dints. No personal engravings. Hallmarks are mostly clear and legible, maker's marks to spoons are quite worn, especially on one. Some minor edge nibbles to glass and likely small repair to one liner. General wear to case with minor losses, and the clasp is not working properly so it does not close tightly.
