Condition Report
All three pieces display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible, especially to the stopper and pill box, however all three items would benefit from a clean and polish. Remnants of polish to the stopper, also some minor dints/creases around the hallmarks. Several deeper scratches and marks visible to the jewellery box, also some slight dints. Hinged lid in working order. Some wear and discolouration to the material lining. Some rubbing to hallmarks but they are all still legible.
