19th Century

Overall Condition:
It is in overall good, as-pictured, used estate condition. The lid retains only part of its original cork stopper so it likely no longer has a tight seal. The leather case has some losses (particularly one panel section at the base), some small apparent re-glues, and shows wear throughout. Otherwise, there are some very fine & light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age.

Gourdel, Vales, & Co.
