Condition Report
Both items display some general wear, tarnishing, surface marks and scratches. A few minor dints and bumps and surface nicks to both. Hinges to both appear in good working order. The hallmarks to the card case are clear and legible. On the aide-memoire, the material inner appears in fairly good overall condition, a couple of small holes, minor losses and some fading. Writing present on the ivory page. The hallmarks on the case are quite rubbed, especially the date letter. The suspension chain, finger ring and pencil appear unhallmarked.
