1893 Proof Sets

[DaveG38]

Hi All

Here's a question that I think I asked on another forum several years ago but never got a satisfactory answer. Does anybody know how the 1893 proof sets were presented? Were they in boxes, leather or card cases, vellum pouches (I made this one up) or what? Was there any embossing on the lid? What does it say? What colour were they? What shape etc. I guess you get the idea. Were they different for the long set as opposed to the short one?

Any advice gratefully received.
