Condition Report
Vestas are in varied condition, however all display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some heavier tarnishing to some areas, also deeper scratches and nicks are visible. The Victorian vesta is generally okay, however it no longer shuts tightly. There is considerable damage to the other vestas, with various large surface dints. The hinged lid on the 1911 vesta has completely broken off. The hallmarks are mainly clear and legible.
