Condition Report
In varied state, all displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Some dints and heavier scuffs. The hinged lids all appear in working order but a couple of the clasps may require attention. Likely repair around the hinge of the imported example. Some rubbing and slight distortion but the hallmarks are mainly clearly legible.
