All elements in overall good condition, consistent with age and gentle handling. All brass elements with age related tarnishing and light wear.

The edges of the hanger are worn, exposing the base metal, and the rest of the stitching is intact. The wall hook with light rubbing and wear to the back where the piece rests against the wall. The paperweight with a small area of roughness to the leather, like from removal of an old sticker. There is a general darkening to the stone from light handling. The small paperweight with light rubbing to raised area of the form with minor rubbing loss to the plating at edge. The large weight in similar condition, with light rubbing to the raised areas of the form. There are 4-5 deeper nicks to the surface, but not concentrated in any specific area.
