Property from the Aline Elwes McDonnell Trust

Both cases appearing in overall good and stable condition. Each having nicks, scuffs, and scrapes consistent with age and use. Both cases open nicely and close securely. The example with the flags had some minor wear to the interior straps as is to be expected for age, but the straps are intact. The example with the flags is hallmarked for sterling. The banded example has no marks. It is possible gold and silver plated, but the case has not been tested and we are unable to say what the exact make-up of the metal is. Additional images are available upon request.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
