Estimate: | £50 - £70 |
Hammer price: | £150 |
Condition Report: All the seals are base metal with the exception of the smallest which has slight traces of gold plating. The agate seal engraved with an owl has a few surface scratches and nicks, the intaglio carving is fairly basic, the other side is plain and is in fairly good condition. It may originally have had a gilt finish, this is now missing. The Victorian small seal, the paste intaglio is moulded with a word possibly reading 'ANNE'. The circular rotating fob is brass and of a rather basic quality. The miniature ship's wheel with compass is probably mid 20th century. The compass covering is rather opaque but the needle is still present.
