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.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
Appears in overall fairly good condition apart from a few tiny knocks to the surface of each bird, particularly to the tips of the tails.

Otherwise, these are in overall fairly good condition.
