  • Condition: **The Hukin & Heath frame has a break where one of the receptacles has detached from the center support, and there is evidence of soldered repair to two other receptacles; the (detachable) support/handle has been re-plated owing to this repair. Otherwise both frames are in good shape with some minor wear but no losses to the silvering noted. Glass pieces are likewise in good shape, with some scattered nicks and fleabites, but no cracks or large chips (the largest about 1/4" on the base of one of the casters). Some bleeding to the copper on the bottle tickets. The Hukin & Heath example with their trademark on the underside and silver caps hallmarked Birmingham, 1877; the other piece with unidentified "acorn" trademark.
