Condition Report
All three cases display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. All display numerous deeper scratches and various minor nicks in the metal throughout. There are also surface dints and edge knocks to each case and various other contact marks. Hinges and clasps are all in working order, although there are some gaps when closed. The 1916 case has a split in the metal at one of the top corners near to the hinge and therefore creating a larger gap when it is closed. The hallmarks are mainly clear and legible.
