Condition Report
The sovereign holder and vesta case both appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general surface wear, marks and scratches and also some tarnishing. There is some rubbing and slight loss of detail to the engraved decoration on the vesta case. Hinges and clasps to both appear in good working order. Hallmarks are clear and legible. The snuff box is in quite a tarnished state and would benefit from a clean and polish. The plating appears worn to some areas and the base metal is showing through.
