Condition Report

Appears in overall good, stable, attractive condition. Minor surface scratching throughout consistent with age, polishing and use. The lid bent very slightly out of round, does not sit completely flush to body. Bending of lid is very subtle and not easily noticed unless viewed closely. A few superficial nicks to body consistent with age. No other significant condition issues noted. Additional images available upon request.
