Condition report:
The two cartouches with love token mounts and one the hinged lid engraved ‘Souvenir’.
Tarnishing to the mounts with some residue polish. The shagreen surface faded in areas and generally lightly worn in areas from handling over the years, also general wear to the extremities. Missing a silver pin to the front lip of the hinged cover. Wear to the silvering of the mirror and light tarnishing and wear to the implements.
