Condition Report Generally in good order. The casket has a small surface blemish to the back right corner of the cover. Some light rubbing to gilding. One handle of the scissors has become detatched and is in need of repair. The underside of the casket is dark and slightly sooty in appearance, probably form fiting. The lining looks very fresh and may be later than the casket but the utnesils look contemporary to the casket.
