Purchasing information-
In good overall condition, all three pieces displaying general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to some areas and they would all benefit from a polish. Some slight dints/bumps. Chased decoration appears good. Hinged lid to kettle appears in working order, however the hinge pin is loose and falls out easily. The fruitwood handle to kettle appears a little faded and a couple of the fixing pins on the silver mounts are missing, so that the handle section is a little loose. The hallmarks are clear and legible, slight distortion to some of the maker's marks. Corresponding hallmarks to separate parts of the tea kettle.
