Description

Gross weight 12.65 ozt (393.5 grams). (2).
Condition
In fair to good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The larger example does not shut fully flush, visible gap between the silver pieces along the clasp side and the case appears slightly dented inwards either side, the cartouche is engraved with 'WPM'. The smaller example has some loss of definition to the engine-turned decoration, minor dents and scratches to the case, pin slightly exposed at either end of the hinge. Some hallmarks rubbed but still legible.
