Condition Report
In varied state, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The trinket dish is also stamped 925 alongside maker's mark for Gebruder Friedlander and the German national mark of a crescent moon and crown, also marked X289 to the base, some minor dents to the pierced body and bends to the edge of the rim. The scent bottles appear unmarked, the lids do not sit fully flush, attached chains appear to have been later replaced and one is broken in half. The German dish marks are crude but clear and legible.
