Condition Report
Both cases appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier wear is visible around edges and some slight rounding of corners. Also a few heavier scratches to some areas. The 1920's case has a name inscribed to the interior. The hinges and clasp of this case are in good working order. There is a slight problem with the opening and closing of the 1930's case. A slight gap is visible when in the closed position and it is very difficult to open. The hallmarks to both cases are clear and legible.
