Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

All four items in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  Remnants of polish are also visible.  Some heavier tarnishing is visible to the purse.  A couple of small holes or breaks in the mesh but in general it appears in fair condition.  The bowl on the caddy spoon appears to have faired quite well, although there is more wear around the edges.  The glove stretchers are very slightly out of alignment but they are in working order.  Some rust is visible to the steel blades.  Some rounding and some slight loss of surface detail to the silver handles.  Hallmarks on all three are mainly legible, however there is some rubbing.  The handles of the grape scissors are slightly out of alignment but are still in working order.  Some wear to the plating.
