Condition Report
Overall fair to good condition, with light surface scratches and minor nicks in keeping with general wear. The pieces are showing varying degrees of tarnishing.
The Henry Matthews buttons and pendant have hallmarks for Birmingham, 1901 and 1902. The pendant could have been converted from a button as there are marks to the centre of the reverse. The button attachments are later added.
The embossed detail to the locket is fairly heavily worn due to polishing, there are easily visible surface scratches, the locket closes flush but doesn't clip closed.
