Condition Report
In fair to good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The cigar piercer retracts well, slight loss of definition and bend to the tip of the piercer, in fitted case. Some heavier scratches to the smaller mother-of-pearl handle. Engraved initials to the seal. The Dutch box requires a polish with tarnishing to the engine-turned base which is heavily rubbed, the lion passant and Minerva head marks present, others slightly indistinct. All other hallmarks clear and legible.
