Condition Report
Generally tarnished throughout commensurate with age. The box lid has dents to the upper left and lower right corners. Pins inside the lid securing the porcelain panel are not completely located. The porcelain panel has ingrained dirt to the corner recesses and a couple of very minor paint blemishes to the surface. The lid is slightly distorted and requires adjustment for the lid to close true. The engraving is well defined as is the WOLLENWEBER stamp to the underside.
