We ship in-house for all items with the exception of very large and or very fragile pieces and some international shipments.
Good condition noting crazing overall and glaze flakes on the cover at each end around the radius of the swell just above the brass bezel. The cover has lines across the top that appear to some as restoration. The presence of crazing all across this area both inside and out make restoration in this area implausible. Guaranteed condition as described, there are no undisclosed chips, cracks or repairs, no rubs scratches or issues beyond the aforementioned glaze flakes.
