Condition Report
All three items in the lot display general wear including surface scratches, marks, knocks and tarnishing in keeping with their age and use. The cigar case displays some heavier tarnishing and would benefit from a clean and polish. Also some fairly deep scratches and several small dints. The hinge and clasp appear in working order. Some further small dints to the sovereign case and a slight gap remains when in closed position. Some light rubbing but the to both are still clear and legible. The continental case has a slide out metal section with a striking end.
