In excellent order with warm copper bleed emerging through the silver plate. There is movement in the cover hinge, but it is sound. No damage to what would appear to be the original glass liner. Free of dents, creases and splits.
Marked to the underside by Elkington & Co. with the date letter M for 1873.
