All the silver and tortoiseshell mounts display general wear and surface marks and scratches.  Some deeper scratches and marks to the tortoiseshell in some areas.  The silver mounts display some tarnishing and some surface dints to some parts, especially some larger and more noticeable ones around the edge of the hand mirror.  The silver mounts are lifting slightly in some areas and they are a little loose on the two clothes brushes, especially on one of them.  On one of the hair brushes, there is a noticeable dint on the edge of the silver mount, on the widest part of the handle.  There is some damage to the bottom edge of the mirror plate and also some deterioration to the brush sections.  Some marks, scratches and minor edge nicks to the glass bottles and the smaller of the two still has remnants of the contents.  Some rubbing and slight distortion to hallmarks in places but they are mainly legible.
