Condition: Overall good vintage condition. The blue ribbon on the Governor badge shows significant fraying and edge wear. Metal components exhibit age-related patina and tarnish, particularly on the pin backs. Enamel faces remain vibrant with only light surface scuffing. Fasteners are present on most pieces, including clutch backs and pin-stem assemblies. Several pieces feature maker marks from N.S. Meyer and A.H. Dondero.
