The compact displays general wear, tarnishing and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. There are also some minor nicks. The hinged lid is in good working order and the enamel is generally okay, although there are some minor surface nicks and edge chips. Hallmarks are rubbed but are still legible.
