Condition Report
The Mappin & Webb glasses are in good condition, they would benefit from a clean, they have an extendable handle, there is slight discolouration to the edges of the brass in areas, there are light surface scratches from general wear.
The Horne & Thornthwaite glasses have just light surface scratches and areas of green tarnishing to the brass. the leather case is very worn, particularly to the exterior, it's wearing thin in places.
The folding glasses would benefit from a clean, the leather case has splits at the smaller tapered end where all the mechanics are and parts of the leather are coming away from the metal in places. There is wear to the edges of the leather. They do not clip closed. The rotating mechanism for the glasses is in good working order.
