Fire Tools, circa 1965

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

This lot has not yet been examined by a Specialist. The following preliminary condition report has been prepared based on review of images. Please contact the department for further information: EMuir@christies.com

Overall in very good condition. Brass surfaces present with areas of losses to finish, and light surface scratches, consistent with age and gentle use. Nickeled steel surfaces present with scattered areas of losses concentrated to the edges, consistent with age and gentle use. Some light surface scuffing concentrated to the feet, only visible upon close inspection.
