Condition Report
All the pieces in the lot display general wear including surface scratches, marks and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier wear and tarnishing to some and all would benefit from a clean and polish. Some rounding of blade tips and edges so that they have lost some of their sharpness. Some heavier marks and scuffs to mother of pearl, especially the handle of the manicure tool. This tool is not silver and is likely to be steel. The retractabe pencil also appears unmarked. The hallmarks on the other items are mainly clear and legible.
