Condition Report
In good overall condition, all three pieces displaying general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to some areas and they would all benefit from a polish. Some slight dints/bumps. Chased decoration appears good. Hinged lid to kettle appears in working order, however the hinge pin is loose and falls out easily. The fruitwood handle to kettle appears a little faded and a couple of the fixing pins on the silver mounts are missing, so that the handle section is a little loose. The hallmarks are clear and legible, slight distortion to some of the maker's marks. Corresponding hallmarks to separate parts of the tea kettle.
