Condition Report
Overall fair to poor condition, all have surface scratches and minor nicks. To the brooch one of the outer turquoise stones has been replaced with another cabochon green gem, the central turquoise cabochons vary in colour and may be replacements. The brooch would benefit from a clean, it is heavily tarnished and there are some shallow dints visible to the side and reverse. The pin is a replacement but is in good working order. There is a photograph to the reverse panel.
The detail to the rectangular fob is rubbed, the solder joins are visible and are split in places with pit holes visible too, there are nibbles to the edge of the cornelian.
The grip to the oval fob is detached, there are visible surface scratches and there is a gentleman in a helmet carved into the cornelian.
The coin brooch is a farthing, half penny and penny solder in a tier, it is fairly tarnished to the front.
