In varied state, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The silver-gilding on the teaspoons is fairly worn and tired. The hinge on the Victorian vesta case is loose and has a vacant cartouche, the Birmingham vesta case has a vacant cartouche. The circular box is marked 'Gazdar silver' and the portrait appears to be on painted ivory but the piece has moved within the silver lid. Majority of the hallmarks clear and legible, the maker's mark on the Victorian vesta is distorted ?&S and the other hallmarks have been clipped along the top.
