Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. The silver presents with faint surface scratches and light scuffing consistent with age and gentle use. The silver presents with light surface soiling and minimal tarnish, particularly concentrated to the interiors which may be carefully polished at the buyer’s discretion. The clasp of one case presents with slight looseness but remains stable in place and retains functionality. Two cases with gilt interiors that present with areas of discoloration and fading to the gilding, not visually distracting.
