Condition Report
All three pieces in the lot display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. Some small dints and bumps, mainly to the trinket box. A construction or seam line is also clearly visible on this box, just below the hinge to the reverse. Possible repair around this area? Some slight rubbing but all the hallmarks are still clearly legible, some distortion to maker's marks.
