More Information

Key present.
General tarnishing, discolouration throughout, would benefit from a clean.
Lock and catch doesn't align, so cover doesn't sit tightly to caddy. Also lock doesn't shut.
Crest to the reverse of the caddy
General surface scuffs, blemishes and scratches seen throughout, commensurate with age and use.
Dents, scratches and large scrape (see in second image) to base.
Lock may be a later replacement.
