Condition Report
All three cases display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Numerous heavier scratches and marks. Several dints and bumps, mainly to the two smaller cases and especially the plain monogrammed case. The clasp is not working on the larger case so that it does not close. The clasps on the other two are working but a gap remains when they are in the closed position. Some loss of surface detail to areas of the engine turned decoration, especially on the smaller case. Some rubbing but the hallmarks are mainly clear and legible.
