Condition Report
All the bottle stoppers appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general surface wear, marks and scratches. Also some tarnishing and all would benefit from a clean and polish. The cherubs on the German pair were probably once gilded but this has now faded and worn. A couple of likely losses and repairs to cherubs. One is also further marked to one leg, possibly a maker's mark?
