Condition Report
Overall the vesta is in good condition with wear commensurate with the age and use. The vesta does appear heavily tarnished with general scratches and marks , a little wear to the raised surfaces with slight loss of definition. The hinge is in good working order, slightly rising when in a closed position. The hallmarks are clear and legible.
