Condition Report
All the salts display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with their age and use. Some quite heavy tarnishing and staining is visible and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. Knocks to some of the feet, especially on two of the salts in particular where some of the feet are very bent so that the salts cannot stand correctly. Slight loss of detail or definition to some of the decoration. Some slight rubbing but the hallmarks and maker's marks are mainly clear and legible.
