Condition Report
The items display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. There is much heavier tarnishing visible to the cigarette case and it would benefit from a clean and polish. There are some deeper scratches visible and general minor nicks and also some surface dints, especially to edges and corners. Remnants of polish are visible to some areas. All hinges and clasps are in working order. Some slight rubbing but the hallmarks are mainly clear and legible.
