Condition
**In good used condition; minor dings, scuffs and wear commensurate with age. One shell has a very small 1/16" crack where it meets the body. Some cellars show traces of gilding on the interior. Marks rubbed - particularly the leopard's heads and two of the maker's marks - but mostly legible.
