Condition Report: The cocktail shaker: Significant dent to the foot rim (see image). Dents to widest part of the body of the cocktail shaker. Wear to the silver plating to the high points of the rim. Subsequent to cataloguing when we managed to remove the top in order to catalogue the interior fitting, the top is now so firmly on that we have been unable to remove it.
The cigarette box is a bit grubby inside and there is a stamp stuck in the lid. There are several dents to the exterior and also a presentation inscription. The hallmark is very rubbed. The ashtray is in fairly good condition. The maker's mark is too rubbed to read. Length of ashtray 10.8cm.
