Condition Report
In good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Requires a polish, small gap to the corner hinge, but shuts flush. Loss of definition to the crest and motto, along the scalloped edges and the engine-turning. Heavier rubbing to the base around the edge with some darker marks and scratches. Hallmarks clear and legible.
