An early twentieth century silver kidney shaped box with mother of pearl inset raised clover...

The box displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use.  Heavy tarnishing is visible and it would benefit from a clean and polish.  Some deeper scratches and nicks are visible and there are numerous small surface dints and bumps.  The rim on the underside is a little misshapen and the material base is pushed in.  The hinged lid is in working order, although it does not close tightly.  The material lining is faded and worn.  There is some damage to the mother of pearl clover leaves, one section is missing and there are cracks to others.  The hallmarks and part hallmarks to the lid are rubbed and the maker's mark is partly distorted and difficult to read clearly.  Most of the counters have edges and corners broken off.
