Silver sovereign holders and fruit knife.

All three items display wear and have general surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use.

The sovereign purse has some deeper and more noticeable surface scratches.  There are also several small dints/nicks in the metal.  There are some areas of tarnishing, especially on one end and to the interior.  The lid is a very tight fit - it catches on one of the sovereign holders each time it is closed.  The full hallmarks and part hallmarks are all rubbed but are all still legible.  The personal inscription reads "In Memory of Mother August 6th 1903".
