Condition report
Squat Tobys - The blue transfer example is the largest. The example with the blue and red checked jacket has been restored to the hat. All have crazing and scuffs to the paintwork. Gaudy Welsh - All have crazed line and in places some staining with give the appearance of hairlines, but I think they are just stained lines. All have some minor rubbing to the gilding and paint scuffs. All commensurate with age.
