Condition Report
The set displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Minor surface dints and bumps. When the pitcher is on the stand, it appears to be closer to one side and one of the side brackets also appears to lean in more. The tilting mechanism does appear to work some of the time but will require attention as the handle also appears a little out of shape and will probably need tightening.
