拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

Marks clear on underside, legible on covers of caddies and partly legible on sugar box. Engraving clear. Signs of earlier engraving visible.
Some light scratching consistent with age and use.
One caddy with nick to ridge at one corner; the other with surface scratch on left hand-side of the engraving, bruising to the section where the arms are engraved; finial leaning very slightly.
The sugar box with some pitting on one side panel, pin dent above the arms.
The case with some scuff marks; lining velvet slightly stained and lifting in places. The handle with one tiny ball finial to one terminal. No key.
