Condition Report
The item displays general wear, tarnishing and surface marks and scratches. There are various small dints/nicks in the metal, especially around the rim of the lid. There is some damage to the tortoiseshell with various scratches and marks. On closer inspection, approximately 50% of the tortoiseshell is quite mottled. The hinge is in good working order and the lid does close tightly but there is a small gap when closed. Hallmarks are rubbed so that date letter and maker's mark are illegible.
