Condition Report
The American vesta case displays general scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The lid when closed does rise a little in position and does not sit flush. The interior is heavily tarnished. The embossed bulldog may be a later addition, the cartouche to the front is vacant and bears a few dints. The American marks to the rim are clear and legible.
