Condition Report
In varied state, however all the items in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. In addition, there are many deeper scratches and nicks and several surface dints and bumps visible to most of the pieces, and some of these are quite large. The foot of the christening mug displays some splits starting to appear in the metal. The hinges on the glass case and purse are working, however there is a gap remaining when the purse is closed and the lid of the glasses case is slightly misshapen so that it does not close tightly either. Some splits in the metal on the pepper pots and one of the lids does not fit on properly. Some rubbing and distortion but hallmarks are mainly legible.
