The dial has some very slight discolouration to the silvering and the case has discolouration and wear to the bezel. The outer edge and rear cover retain much of their original finish in 'fresh' condition albeit with some oxidation towards the margins and two slight areas of rubbing to the rear. The compass is in very similar condition; the thermometer has a broken tube but the scale is in good condition. The interior lining of the case is worn/discoloured but generally intact. the exterior has some staining and wear but the hinges are intact and the case clasp is present and operational.The barometer in the second compendium also responds positively to being 'bag tested'. The silvered scale has some noticeable tarnishing to the silvered scale particularly towards the outer edge. The compass scale is in similar condition and object is generally in dirty/neglected condition with overall spotting, discolouration and light wear to the silvered finishes. The thermometer tube is intact and in good condition. The silk lining to the lid of the case is faded and frayed along the rear edge. The hinge is present but the lid is not currently attached although the structure (rear rail) of the lid is intact hence re-attachment should be relatively straightforward. The exterior leather covering of the case is a little faded and has small loss which matches the size of the leaf of the hinge where it attaches to the lid otherwise is in good condition with only minor wear.
