Condition Report
All three toast racks display general wear, tarnishing and surface marks and scratches. There are also some minor surface nicks and dints. The pair of toast racks differ very slightly in size, the base of one being very slightly shorter. The central bar on this base is also very slightly misshapen. Hallmarks to both are legible, maker's mark slightly squashed on one of them. The larger toast rack is very tarnished and some of the arched panels are a little misshapen. Hallmarks are clear and legible.
