All the glove stretchers display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use, and to varying degrees.  Quite heavy tarnishing is visible to the embossed handles and they would all benefit from a clean and polish.  Some general dints and bumps.  Heavier wear around edges and to some of the tips of the handles.  Some small repairs at joins of handles.  Some loss of surface detail to decoration in places.  One of the splayed handles with the cherub heads is fairly loose.  Some rust is visible to metal sections.  Hallmarks are mainly legible, although there is rubbing and distortion to some.
