Condition Report
The items in the lot are in varied condition, however all display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing to varying degrees and commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper scratches and nicks are visible and small surface dints and bumps. Some of the items are more heavily tarnished and would benefit from a clean and polish, especially the rattle. An end piece appears to have broken off the end of the rattle. There is also some damage to the smaller rattle pieces and some of them are missing. Some splits starting to appear in the metal on the pair of napkin rings. Considerable loss of detail to the decoration on the vesta case and the cigarette case is in extremely poor condition. Some rubbing and distortion to hallmarks but overall they are mainly legible.
