Total lot weight: No

All three cases display some tarnishing, general wear and surface marks and scratches, commensurate with age and use.  Some deeper more visible scratches to some areas and more wear to edges and corners.  There is also some slight loss of detail to decoration in places.  Various minor nicks and small surface dints.  Dints are mainly visible to the edges and corners, however there are a couple of small dints to the front of the 1928 cigarette case.  The clasp on the Chester case is no longer working, however the other two clasps are okay and all hinges are in working order.  There are numerous marks and scratches to the faux tortoiseshell.  Hallmarks on this case are slightly rubbed but still legible, other hallmarks clear and legible.
