Silver displays some light tarnishing, general wear and light surface marks and scratches. Matchbox holder has a number of small surface dints, especially around edges. Area of solder visible to underside, by one of the ball feet. It appears to be a repair as a seperate piece has been added as a strengthener. Some loss of detail to decoration. Hallmarks rubbed but still legible. Various minor edge and rim nicks to glass bottle. Hallmarks to the silver lid are very clear and legible.
