Items are in varied condition, all display general wear, some tarnishing, and surface marks and scratches, all commensurate with age and use.  There is some rust visible to the blades of the scissors and a little bit of wear to the tips, although they are still quite sharp.  Hallmarks to handle are legible, also stamped 'sterling'.  Several dints to the cheroot holder case and some loss of detail to decoration and rims are slightly misshapen.  Hallmarks and part hallmarks are legible.  All other items also display various surface dints and nicks.  The bullet scent bottle no longer screws together properly and there are several chips to the glass.  The globular item has considerable damage to the three leaf clover decoration.
