Condition
The case is in good condition with no visible dents, cracks, or losses. When inspected under UV light, there is no sign of restoration. There are some minor losses to the enamel in three of the blue circles along the border. On the interior, there are some areas of discoloration possibly due to oxidation, which one can easily expect given its age and use. The interior has loops for elastic, bit no elastic remains. Light wear throughout. The case opens and closes smoothly. Please contact us for a detailed condition report. Please note that the lack of a condition statement does not imply perfect condition. Email condition@revereauctions.com with any condition questions.
