Condition Report
The trays are in fairly good condition with general scratches commensurate with age and use. Both have several pinpoints and cut marks. Slight rubbing to the engraving although armorials still show most detail. One tray has distortion to the rim at the twelve o'clock position along with a compression crease above the foot at the seven o'clock position. Both still appear quite sturdy overall. The hallmarks are clear and legible.
