A cased set of 16 glass models of the “biggest and most interesting diamonds in the world”

An antique (yes!) set of paste “diamonds” with the original German text. There is no mention of the Cullinan and they state that the Hope is owned by the Duchess of Newcastle (The Duke sold the Hope in 1901/2), this together with the wooden fitted case and antiquated font for the names leads me to believe it must be c.1900

The “diamonds” are Pigott, Sancy, Shah, Hope, Pasha of Egypt, Koh-I-Noor old and new, Nassak, Grand Mogul, Florentine, Regent, Empress Eugenie, Dresden Green (rare!), Orloff, Polar Star and the Star of the South

Some small chips to the stones commensurate with age, but nothing too concerning
