Condition Report
In poor to fair condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Minor loss of definition to the engraved decoration, more so to the reverse. The case does not shut fully flush due to residue and dirt in the hinge, also heavily tarnished and dirty to the interior and inner rims, would benefit from a clean and polish. Monogram possibly HL?. Hallmarks clear and legible.
