Condition Report
The items are in varied condition but all display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible to most pieces and they would benefit from a clean and polish. All display deeper scratches to some areas, various minor nicks and some small surface dints. More notable dints to the smaller trinket box. The hinged lid does not close properly on the larger box and the cabriole legs are a little out of shape in places. The hallmarks appear rubbed in places but are mainly legible, however the date letter on the heart trinket box and the hallmarks on one of the napkin rings are very distorted.
