I've been using it for about a month. Because I used it daily, the silver has aged, showing the characteristic changes over time (dulling and deepening of color). It has developed a vintage-like atmosphere and character that new items don't have. The damage isn't excessive, and the material's appeal has been naturally brought out, so I think those who like the look of well-used silver will especially appreciate it. If necessary, you can restore it to bright silver with a light polishing after purchase. I can also take additional photos if you'd like, so please feel free to comment.
