Condition
dates are as follows: 2, 1780; 2, 1779; 2, 1777; 1, 1782; 1 with date letter illegible.
overall good condition, nice pattern, clear marks, some minor losses to scrolling edges. Five do not sit perfectly flat on an even surface with some leaning a little and three others wobbling slightly. Two however have more extensive repairs and losses to scrolling edges, one consequently wobbly (the one without date letter). Another one is also wobbly but not as much damaged. Good impression overall.
