Condition:
THE FIRST
The overall condition is very good though the weave is distorted and wavy though fully intact. There is a small black pin head sized spot on the foot of the folk man and a small brown spot on his other stocking.
THE SECOND
The overall condition is very good structurally though both cases have yellowed with age and use. There are darker yellowed spots on the back lawn casing near the opening with faint orange spots to the left and right on the top lace. The second case has darker spots mostly on the top lace part of the case.
THE THIRD
The overall condition is good though there are a couple of small holes in the smaller tabbed end of the panel and some minor spots throughout the larger linen area. There is a slight darkening, likely due to age.
THE FOURTH
The overall condition is very good structurally though there are some small spots on the left side bottom panel, center of the top panel with soiled crease in the center, right of center middle panel, and each panel on the right side. There are dark spots on the center panel to the right of center. There is one tassel missing on the right bottom edge.
THE FIFTH
The overall condition is very good though there is some faint yellowed spots throughout many of the panels along the edges and some slightly darker spots on along one of the longer edges.
