3rd item has surface wear, showing copper. Smallest betel nut box has repaired split to side, 3/4", and lid is out of alignment with base, "stem" is loose. Box with foo dog finial has significant denting to sides and the lid and base are misaligned to the point that the lid does not sit on the base. Other items very good condition.
