Gross weight 8.4 ozt (263.4 grams). (2).
Condition
In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Both cigarette cases would benefit from a clean and polish and have minor loss of definition to the decoration. The smaller example has two interior expanding brackets marked 'Nickel Pat. No 210313', its gilding looks slightly dull and the case shuts fully secure. The larger example appears slightly flat to the centre, the case shuts but not fully flush with a gap visible between the pieces, the cartouche is engraved with the initials 'F. V. E', it has an elastic band running the length of the case. Hallmarks clear and legible.
