Condition Report
In poor to fair condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Loss of definition and tarnishing to the edges and decoration. The silver mount of the young girl is loose and moves sideways to the handle. The suspension loop of the ball example is split with significant dents and bumps to the outer surface. All would benefit from a clean and polish. Hallmarks rubbed and worn but still just legible.
