Condition Report
In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The hinged lid to the vesta case appears loose with some sideways movement to the hinge and some minor bumps and dents to the body. The matchbox holder has a filled base, the sleeve compartment appears slightly squashed with the remnants of a matchbox which appear stuck inside. The stamp compartment cover does not shut fully flush, the hinge appears to catch when opened. Remnants of polish visible on all pieces. Majority of hallmarks clear and legible.
