Purchasing information
    The coasters appear in quite worn and tired condition. They display general surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age and use and also some tarnishing. There are also some minor surface dints and creases. On two of the coasters, the joins between the sides and base are split leaving large gaps. There are also visible seam lines and all three coasters are slightly misshapen. The wooden undersides also display wear and the baize lining is either lifting or very worn and threadbare. The hallmarks are quite rubbed and distorted.
