Condition Report
All the pencils display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Deeper scratches and marks visible to some areas. The engine turned decoration is very worn on the Yard-O-Led pencil and it displays some heavier tarnishing. There is also some loss of detail to the engraved decoration on the bridge pencil and some small surface dints and bumps. All pencils still contain some lead. Some rubbing to hallmarks, however they are still legible.
