Both items display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use.  Some tarnishing is visible to the silver and metal sections.  Some general deeper scratches and minor nicks.  The engraved and embossed decoration still appears fairly crisp and bright.  There is more wear to edges and some rounding to the tips of the fork prongs and knife blade, however they have generally faired quite well.  Some rubbing but hallmarks are mainly legible.  Some splits are visible in the ivory handles.
