Condition Report
Both pieces appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general tarnishing, surface wear, marks and scratches. Heavier wear and scratches around the edges and underside of the box and several small surface dints. The hinged lids appear in working order. The lid on the shaving brush does not sit quite flush, leaving a slight gap. The hallmarks are clear and legible to both, some rubbing and distortion to maker's marks.
