Condition Report
The case displays general wear, tarnishing, surface marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Heavier tarnishing and staining to interior and would benefit from a clean. Heavier wear and some nicks around edges and corners. The glass panel is quite loose. Hinged lid appears in good working order, although a small gap remains on one side when in closed position. Hallmarks are clear and legible including part hallmarks to lid. Also with a registration number. Also with some playing cards, mostly in poor condition.
