Condition Report
The lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Would benefit from a clean and polish. Some minor shallow dints and bumps. All hinged lids and handles appear in good working order. Heavier contact marks and staining to interior, also ring marks from the glass pots. The main hallmarks are clear and legible, maker's mark is partly rubbed but still legible. Part hallmarks to several sections, some rubbed. The screwed on base appears to have a different maker's mark but it is very worn.
