Condition Report
Both items display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing is visible and they would benefit from a clean and polish. Numerous deeper scratches, nicks and contact marks are visible, and some small surface dints and bumps. One of the feet on the box is pushed inwards slightly, so that the box wobbles a little when standing. Hinged covers are in working order. There is a flood of solder around the hinge on the lid of the trinket box, indicating a possible repair. Incised personal inscription to underside 'In Celebration of our Wedding Day'. Below the scene on the reverse of the cigarette case is the wording 'Habbamiya July 1950'.
