Condition report:
The items are in good vintage condition overall. Minor surface wear and rubbing are visible to the plating on several of the older gold tone pieces. The enameled Father Christmas pins show slight wear to the painted edges (photo 4). A tangle of loose hair or thread is caught amongst the pins in the centre-left of the group (photo 1). No missing stones are immediately apparent from the photographs.
