Condition Report
All the items display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Quite heavy tarnishing is visible to the silver mounts and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. Hinged lids are in working order although some are fairly loose. Some small dints and bumps to the embossed lid of the perfume bottle and a couple of holes in the metal are starting to appear. Perfume bottle is lacking stopper. Various edge nicks and chips to glass including some larger corner chips, also heavier wear and contact marks and scratches to the undersides. Some slight distortion but hallmarks are all still legible.
