×Description
Condition
The tankard is in good but used condition. Stamped with a fully matching and clear set of silver marks to the body and lid, handle with maker's mark. A nice feature is the tell-tale dents on top of the handle where the thumb piece has been touching for over 300 years. The hinge has a little movement where the pin has worn over the years. Signs of earlier restoration to the lid where it meets the hinge. Marks inside where the handle is attached to the body. Slight curvature on the lid where there has been an erasure. The tankard has been tested for water retention and there is no leak. Please note that this item is not new and will show moderate signs of wear commensurate with age. Reflections in the photograph may detract from the true representation of this item.
