Condition Report
In varied state, however all the items in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some slight loss of detail to decoration in places and some deeper scratches and marks to some areas. Hinges on the box and compact are in working order. The bell rattle is in poorer condition as there are some small dints and bumps visible.
