Condition report:
Items show signs of handling and display, including surface dust and minor oxidation or tarnishing to the gold and silver-toned plating, particularly notable on the car and streetlamp clocks. The stone apple shows natural mineral banding but no visible cracks. All clocks are untested and movements likely require battery replacement as they are not currently running.
