Condition Report
All three cases display general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. They all have some tarnishing, especially the two larger examples. There is some loss of detail to the decoration on each and especially more wear around the edges and corners. There are also various nicks and dints in the metal. The largest example is quite dented to the centre on both the front and reverse and there is a large hole in the metal to one corner of the base. The hinged covers on each are in working order. Hallmarks on each are slightly rubbed but still legible.
