1. Excellent. Minor bend, but possibly from making. Some grime in places. A few tiny knocks. A great piece which is reasonably early. This company was bought by a group of Melbourne businessmen, and ceased operations in 1926. 2. Excellent. Discoloured. Some stains. A few scratches and minor marks. The key has corrosion. This is still fully functional! 3. Very Good. The plating is flaking in places. Surface corrosion throughout. This tool looks to be ableto be utilised as a corkscrew, a can opener, a crown seal opener, a toffee hammer, a ruler, there is even a little roller which looks like a cutter of some sort, maybe a glass cutter? It does a lot of things, a very interesting tool. 4. Very Good. A dint in one side of the bottom part of the egg. Tarnished. Quite worn on the top. An interesting little piece. Grade: N/A Estimate: $80 - 120
