Condition Report
Overall fair to good condition, all show degree's of tarnishing, and minor surface scratches and small nicks in keepeing with the use of the pieces, some have slightly misshapen bases and some loss of detail near the tip. All have silver hallmarks except one which is stamped JS&S and has a patch were it has been acid tested. And the Charles Horner Dorcas example has no hallmark due to them been steel and silver, this has damage to the interior where a section of silver has been peeled back to reveal the inner layer, there is loss of detail to the decoration also, and a very small hole to the exterior, with surface scratches and nicks to the silver and heavy tarnishing to the interior. All the hallmarks are rubbed but just legible.
