Condition Report
Fair overall condition, all napkin rings displaying general wear including surface scratches, marks and some tarnishing, all commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to some and all would benefit from a clean and polish. The Victorian example displays several dints and bumps, also slight loss of detail or definition to the decoration. The cylindrical napkin ring is a little misshapen. Slight distortion to maker's marks and hallmarks on the Victorian napkin ring but still legible. The other hallmarks are all clear and legible.
