The hinged clasp fully functioning with slight detachment of top hinge mount from the spindle but the clasp closes crisply and firmly. The brass mountings show some light wear marks but these may well polish out.

Dickinson ...their affectionate Cousin Ulhrick Bainbridge 21 Oct. 1858' This is a very attractive antiquarian editi
