OVERALL CONDITION |
Very good but with a possible very well executed frontal erasure. There are a couple of little spots of discolouration. These are a throwback from the days when we had coal fires. As the air in a room cools, small droplets of condensation can form on the silver in which sulphur compounds in the air from burning coal can dissolve. The dilute acid can then cause little spots of discolouration. These spots will fade with use. |
