Condition Report
All three items display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing. Heavier tarnishing is visible to the chamberstick and mug and both would benefit from a clean and polish. Deeper scratches and nicks are also visible. The mug displays some minor surface dints and the main rim is a little misshapen. Hallmarks are a little rubbed but still legible. Mug bears engraved date to underside and later engraved initials to the main body. Hallmarks to chamberstick are legible.
