Clean, collectible as well as a good-to-use piece of a great and ever-practical pattern. It shows typical signs of age, notably heal wear, while having a great antique look, especially for being from 1898, as you can see from the pictures. Why not grab it up now before it's gone? I have many more great antique and vintage items also so please check out my other listings. I'll appreciate it if you spread the word and follow me. I also can reduce shipping costs on multiple orders if you ask me in advance before paying.
