Condition Report
All three boxes are quite heavily tarnished and display general wear and surface marks and scratches. There are some deeper scratches in places and various minor nicks and surface dints all over. The frilled rim on the base of the circular box is slightly misshapen in one area. The hinged lids on each box are all in working order. There are contact marks to the inner flanges. All boxes bear the lion passant mark and other marks including date letters and Minerva head. Each interior bears remnants of stickers, which are possibly hiding further marks?
