CONDITION REPORT:
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.

The work is structurally sound. A fine layer of dust is visible overall. The paper collage elements have shifted in tone overall, and minute spots of rust are visible occasionally to the tin toys and metal hardware. Small spots of discoloration and minute losses of paper are visible occasionally, most notably to the edges and corners.
