Purchasing information-
In fair condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. No personal engravings to the cartouche on the spoon, some minor loss of definition to the decoration. The sieve of the wine funnel is dented in places with signs of crude solder to the interior rim for the funnel which covers some of the drilled holes. The top of the funnel has been cut off, with two possible further marks off struck and obscured. The edge of the funnel has plastic stuck around it covering the maker's mark, significant solder repairs to the interior rim of the funnel. Hallmarks clear and legible.
