Condition Report
The box displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. The hardstone displays some cracks and small nicks and chips. The silver is a little tarnished and there is some slight loss of detail to the decoration. Hinged cover is in working order, although it lifts slightly at one of the front corners. Contact marks to flange. The hallmarks appear rubbed but legible, however the maker's mark is partly worn.
