Condition Report
The Edwardian mug displays general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age. It is also very tarnished. There is a small dint near to the engraved initials and various other minor nicks/dints including edge nicks around the flared rim. The hallmarks are slightly rubbed but still very clear. Also with impressed numbers 5179 to the underside.
The other two mugs are in similar condition with general wear, surface marks and scratches and tarnishing. Both also have minor nicks and dints in the metal. The smaller, baluster shape example displays a number of small dints to the main body and various edge nicks. The hallmarks on both are rubbed but still legible.
