Total lot weight: No

All three items display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use.  Heavy tarnishing is visible and they would all benefit from a clean and polish.  Heavier wear around edges and to corners.  Hinges and clasps appear in working order.  Some small dints to the cigarette box, mainly at corners and along edges.  Considerable loss of detail and definition to the engine turned decoration on the lighter.  Some rubbing and slight distortion to some of the hallmarks but they are still legible.
