<li>Items all with general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing.

<li>Please note that the internal mechanisms and parts contained within the retractable pencil are not inspected and therefore not known if complete, damaged or inoperable.

<li>Match case is testing around 80% Ag, cigarette case around 92% Ag and case to retractable pen around 18% Ag. Fellows uses a Thermo Scientific Nitron Handheld XRF Analyser to test metals. This technology is limited to examining metal to a depth of approximately 8 microns.

 <li>Fellows does not guarantee the standard of silver, gold or platinum unless an item is hallmarked. Results from electronically tested items should only be used as a guide and with caution, as false readings are possible.

 

<li>Shoe horn is dirty and worn, with some rough scratches to centre. Owl finial shows some polish residue but silver is shiny and bright.

 

<li>Cigarette case shows some noticeable bashes and dents throughout, with a visible seam line to top.

 

<li>Some deeper surface scratches to front of cigarette case, across bird motif.

 

<li>Condition reports are offered as a guide only and we highly recommend inspecting any lot to satisfy yourself as to its condition.
