Condition Report
Both menu holders display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Some wear to gilding, especially around edges. Hinges on the stand are in good working order. On the hare menu holder, the stand is a little dinted and misshapen, so that the upper section no longer lays flat. Contact marks visible to reverse, caused by the stand. Hand painted panels appear in fairly good condition. Struck marks are mainly legible.
