Excellent. Very early, the bowls have By His Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, which means they predate Queen Victorias reign, which began in 1837. Avery became W & T. Avery in 1818, and so these are from the 1818-1837 period. Surface corrosion to the non brass parts. Some stains, scratches and discolouration. Weights are good with minor marks. Box is good, some dints, loose panel internally. Some writing on the box. Label has tears. A great piece of history here. Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
