Condition:
THE FIRST

THE SECOND
The overall condition is good structurally though the gold-tone plating on the frame hardware is noticeably worn at each clasp and strap connector rings. The red leather linings in both bags is peeling more so in the smaller bag than the large.
THE THIRD
The overall condition is very good though the right side insert has a couple of small spots on the exterior and the back leather has some light creases.
THE FOURTH
The overall condition is good though the leather trim on the edges has considerable wear visible on the exterior primarily at the fold. The interior leather lining has some scratches but is generally in good condition with some minor discoloration on the fabric expanded sections.
