Condition Report
All three items display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with their age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. Several holes in the silver lid of the vanity pot, also folds, nicks and dints to the gadrooned rim. Some small chips to glass and a large repair to one corner. General dints and bumps to silver back of hand mirror and considerable loss of detail to the engine turned decoration. The cigarette box also displays several dints and bumps, especially to edges and corners. Also a split in the metal around the hinges on one side. Damage to felt lining on the base and this would require attention. The lid closes but is slightly out of alignment. Wear and rubbing to all hallmarks but they are mainly legible.
