Condition Report
The condition of this lot is fair to poor. The larger brooch has significant areas of worn or deficient enamel. The reverse is significantly dented. The inscription reads 'Hannah Stowe Died April 7 1851 aged 85 years'. The pin catch is misshapen, preventing the pin from being released. There is a hole to one side of the smaller brooch, consistent with it having being adapted from a push-piece clasp. The pin has been added at a later date.
