Condition Report
Each vesta case displays general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. Some of the scratches are deeper and more visible. They all also display some tarnishing. All hinges are in good working order. There is some wear to the engraved decoration on all of them and some minor nicks in the metal. The 20th century example is in the poorest condition as there is more noticeable wear to the decoration and some dints. Hallmarks are all still clear and legible.
