Condition Report
All the rattles display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. There is heavier tarnishing to some, especially the rabbit. There are some minor surface dints to some of the rattles and also some small holes in the embossed decoration. There are also some seam lines visible and also some floods of solder to some areas. There is some wear and rubbing to hallmarks but they are still legible. There are no visible hallmarks to the final rattle but it may be that they are obscured.
