Condition Report
Both the snuffers and tray display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Numerous deeper scratches and nicks are visible to both. The scissor action of the snuffers is in working order, however one of the ring handles is very slightly misshapen. Some slight loss of detail to decoration in places. Slight distortion to maker's marks on the snuffers but otherwise hallmarks on both are clear and legible.
