Condition Report
All three pieces display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. There is some quite heavy tarnishing to the salts and they would benefit from a clean and polish. Various small solder repairs, clearly visible to the underside of both. Minor dints and bumps and some heavier marks to some areas. The hallmarks appear rubbed and partly distorted but are still legible. The metal of the funnel feels quite thin, some dints and bumps and creases around the rims. The hallmarks appear rubbed but legible.
