Condition Report
Both boxes display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Both would benefit from a clean and polish. There are some minor dints and nicks visible, however overall they appear in fair condition. The hallmarks on the earlier box are very rubbed and some of the marks are indistinct. Hallmarks on the later box are mainly clear and legible.
