Surface bubble across one shoulder corner. Little nick or two to lip. Needs a really good clean. Tien Sau Tong is an early Hong Kong chemist which is still operating today. 2. VG. Little nibbled impact mark to right lip edge. A bit hazy in places. A little wear around the shoulder. Some fine scuffs and scratches. 3. VG. Some odd looking deterioration to the reflective surface, still works well enough as a mirror though. The advertising sold is a little wavy, but without damage. 4. NM.

It is hallmarked W & H with a few other symbols, not sure if it is silver, or silver plated. It is a bit tarnished, otherwise fine. Estimate: $25-50
