Condition Report
In varied state, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The lipstick holder is marked 'RD 35247?' to the inner rim compartment. The press release to open the sovereign holder is not in working order, the sprung platform holder appears in good order. Minor bumps to the compact case. The spurs are marked 'Victoria silver' but they test as cupro-nickel. Majority of hallmarks clear and legible.
