1. Very Good. Nice piece with the white horse in the middle on a blue background. A few scratches. Drip of white paint. Some grime. Small flake or two. Some wear underneath and a spot or two of corrosion. 2. Very Good. A great detailed scene, with sign saying anyone doubting the age of White Horse Scotch Whisky is requested to take a dram and walk the tight rope, and a picture of someone who tried underneath who fell and landed on the spikes! Quite gruesome really, but interesting. Some scratches. Some wear to the plating underneath and further scratches. Texta underneath, something about being promised to happy bum? 3. Very Good.
