Fan 1 - The fan is generally sound but the original off white colour of the embroidery has been affected by humidity and approx. Half is now quite brown. A small amount of the sequins have tarnished. Fan 2 - The ribs have probably been re-secured as there is glue residue on the leaf, showing up as clear, not brown. Fan 3 - Generally good save for glue having been used to re-secure some ribs which has left brown stains in places. The box lid is missing one end.
