Condition Report
In varied state, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The ashtray case shuts fully flush, hinge in good working order, stamped 925 alongside post 1968 assay marks for Firenze, further marked Lubinski. The retractable pencil is currently not functioning, the slide mechanism is stuck, requires repair and attention, hallmarks rubbed and worn but about legible, also marked J. C. Vickery Regent Street. The cigar piercer is stamped 925, alongside possible maker's marks, V&S SS?, the mechanism components have become rusty causing the retractable function to become stiff. One pill box is engraved 'Elsa Lergio?', stamped 800 alongside further mark, the other pill box is stamped 925 alongside the common control mark and Sheffield import marks. The chopsticks are marked Silver to the terminals and appear slightly bent.
