Condition Report
All the salts appear quite heavily tarnished and would benefit from a clean and polish. Cleaner to interiors. Otherwise the overall condition appears fairly good, all displaying some general surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age and use. All hallmarked to undersides, mostly legible with some rubbing. Assay office mark completely worn on one of the salts. Some pitting marks around the hallmarks on two of the salts. The glass liners appear to be a good fit but are likely not original. Some edge nibbles and slightly larger rim chips to a couple of the liners. Spoons are all tarnished.
