Some expected light scuffs and dings on the plateaux consistent with occasional use, but no dents, deep scratches or knife marks. Good detail and finish, with no evidence of later polishing/buffing, but the small oval cartouches on the rim have a shallow depression where a monogram has evidently been buffed out. The silver is not appreciably thinned, and the removal inconspicuous. Each piece marked (on the underside) Tiffany & Co. / 19143A Makers 5222 / Sterling Silver / 925-1000 / m" and "11 In." The case has some exterior scuffs, but no tears and is intact and sound. The interior is in good condition with some soiling but no tears. In all, a handsome, well-presented set.
