Condition Report
Overall condition fair to poor. Some of the inlaid detail to the tortoiseshell hair combs is missing, there is considerable crazing and cracks to the tortoiseshell, with some substantial areas of damage. Some of the black plastic hair combs are substantially dented and damaged, there are scratches and wear to many, some items are in need of repair. 'ITEMS INCORPORATING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED AND OTHER PROTECTED SPECIES' Prospective buyers are advised that several countries prohibit altogether the importation of property containing such materials, and that other countries require a permit (e.g CITIES permit) from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. The sale of ivory, tortoiseshell and other materials derived from endangered species is limited by CITES regulations to 'worked' pieces dating prior to 1947, and the export of such pieces outside the EU would require and export licence to be obtained from DEFRA.
