05.30.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 2024: I note that all boxes are presently intact, with overall well-retained enamel and gilt decoration, all boxes are currently free from observed chips, fractures, and restorations following a careful visual and UV light examination, there is typical light patination of the gilt metal trim, and the raspberry box struggles to close, often popping open after having been successfully closed
