The silver mounted tortoiseshell box displays considerable wear with tarnishing, surface marks, scratches and many small dints. The base lining is in very poor condition and would need to be replaced. Hinges appear in working order. Some of the hallmarks are rubbed but still legible, maker's mark very worn. The other box displays some general surface marks and scratches.  These items may have export issues, for customers outside of the EU, please note that it is the buyers responsibility to adhere to any import/export requirements.
