Condition -
This stamp box is in good condition with no dents or dings, the decoration is clear and crisp with no rubbing. The box has a sliding mechanism which has inevitably left some scratches on the interior over time. The hallmarks are rubbed and so are difficult to read but are legible - see pictures. This stamp holder shows some surfaces marks and scratches from age, use and polishing over time but these are evident mainly on the plain back and the cartouche, these are commensurate with age and use.
