Condition Report
In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The hinged cover of the Victorian vesta case does not shut fully flush, with minor bumps and dents and loss of definition to the engraved decoration, the striker also appears quite worn. The matchbox holder has heavier tarnishing to the side where the matchbox striker would show through. Majority of hallmarks clear and legible.
