Condition Report
All items display general scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The gilt interior of the snuff box appears worn and the hallmarks rubbed from contact from the lid but clearly legible. The hinge to the vesta case is extremely worn and loose with some dints and splits also visible to the seam. The continental box displays a repair to the hinge and a green discolouration to the interior.
