Offered strictly as is. One hook has a fractured upper arm at the base of the casting and is suitable for parts or artistic repurposing. The other two retain crisp decorative relief but are missing their back-plate screws and nuts and will require replacement mounting hardware. All three show a warm bronze-brown surface with occasional verdigris and minor surface pitting consistent with over 120 years of use.
