Purchasing information-
In fair condition, overall the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.
First example with pitting and small dints particularly to spout, probable repair to area of foot as surface uneven.Although the lid is by a different maker it appears to fit and close well. Rubbing to hallmarks but still legible.
Second example with much heavier tarnishing and iridescent effect to areas probably as a result of incorrect cleaning, side of base rim uneven as if pushed down. Hallmarks clear and legible.
