Condition Report
In fair to good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. All suspension loops present, strikers more worn on the George V examples, all hinges appear in working order and shut fully. Two with initialled cartouches, minor loss of definition to the decoration across all items. Retailers mark for Mappin & Webb Regent St clipped on plain example. Hallmarks worn but mostly clear and legible, apart from maker's marks on the Edwardian examples which are indistinct.
