Condition Report
The lot displays surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The hinged lid doesn't quite sit flush, the hinged base is loose and the pin sticks out. Runs of soft solder around the crown finial although this doesn't impede on the decoration. Remnants of polish visible. The stipple engraving 'B S' is more rubbed than '1770'. Marked to the inner base with ?N and possibly crown.
