Condition Report
The three pieces all display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing is visible, especially to the knife and fork, and they would benefit from a clean and polish. There is a little bit more wear around the edges and tip of the knife blade, and also to the tips of the fork prongs. However they have generally faired quite well. Numerous small nicks and deeper scratches to the napkin ring and the seam line is visible. The hallmarks are all clear and legible. There is considerable damage and deterioration to the case and it is falling apart.
