Purchasing information
    In fair to good overall condition, all the salts displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier spots and areas of tarnishing to some, also some deeper scratches and nicks. Interiors were likely once gilded but are now worn and faded. Some slight rubbing but the hallmarks are all still clear and legible. No glass liners.
