Generally very good overall condition. Some light overall rubbing and surface scratches to the surfaces as expected from age and use. Some scattered surface dents as expected, but do not detract from the overall composition. Some of the rubbing reveals the brass underneath, but is limited to small areas and fine edges. The lot comprises a shaker with strainer and inner cap, three flasks, corkscrew, funnel, four spoons and four cups ass described in the catalogue. The cap to the corkscrew is firmly in place and currently cannot be opened.
