Condition Report
Both cases appear in a fairly worn state, displaying many surface scratches, nicks and marks, also several small dints, especially to the combination vesta and sovereign case. Tarnishing to both and they would benefit from a clean and polish. The hinge and clasp on the double vesta appear in good working order. The clasp is no longer working on the hinged lid of the combination vesta as it does not stay closed. The push release button on the sovereign end appears in working order. The hallmarks are clear and legible.
