Condition Report
All the cases appear in fairly good condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Heavier wear around the edges and corners of all three, also some small nicks and dints and heavier scratches visible. There is considerable loss of detail and definition to the leaf decoration on the 1909 case. The decoration on the other cases is still fairly bright. All the hinges are in working order. The hallmarks appear rubbed in places but are still legible.
