Condition Report
In varied state, all cases displaying general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with their age and use. Quite heavy tarnishing is visible to most and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. The 1919 case is in fairly poor condition with several dints and bumps, also the hinge is damaged so that it does not close properly. Some slight dints to the other three cases, the hinged lid on the hammered example is a little loose when closed. The hallmarks are mostly clear and legible.
