All three items in the lot display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible and all three pieces would benefit from a clean and polish. Some deeper scratches and nicks and various surface dints and bumps, especially to the purse. Hinged cover on cigarette box is in working order and hallmarks are a little rubbed but still legible. The hinges are also in working order on the purse but there is a small gap when it is closed. Some fading and deterioration to interior. Some rubbing and partial distortion to maker's marks but all still legible. The propelling action on the pencil appears in working order and hallmarks are legible.
