Condition Report
In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Minor bumps and tarnish spots to the Victorian example, one side of the interior lining seats lower than the rest and there is a slight gap around the edge beneath the base. The 1917 example has minor loss of definition to the engine-turned decoration, a personal inscription has been crudely scratched into the interior of the lid which says 'From Dolly Bunny Darling 1919'. Hallmarks slightly rubbed but still legible.
