Condition Report
In varied state, all pieces in the lot displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use, and to varying degrees. The Victorian knife and fork and sugar nips all display heavier tarnishing throughout. The sugar nips are slightly out of shape and do not close together very well. The tines of the fork are in poor condition and there is quite heavy wear around the edge and tip of the knife blade. Dints, bumps and holes to embossed handles of shoe horn and glove stretchers. Some rubbing and wear but the hallmarks are mainly legible.
