Both vesta cases display some tarnishing, general wear and surface marks and scratches.  Both also have some deeper scratches in places, various minor nicks and small surface dints, and more wear around the edges.  Some loss of detail to the bright cut engraving on the one example.  The oblong example is more tarnished and dinted.  Hinges and clasps to both are in working order.  Hallmarks are mainly legible, although maker's mark to the oblong example is partly distorted.
