Condition Report
The vesta case displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Some heavy tarnishing is visible and it would benefit from a clean and polish. Several deeper scratches and nicks, also some surface dints, mainly to the reverse. Heavier wear around edges. The locking mechanism to the hinged lid appears in working order. Date letter is very worn, some rubbing and distortion to the other hallmarks and maker's marks but they are still legible.
