Condition Report
In varied state, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some of the blades are slightly creased in places or appear a bit thin. Majority appear in good working order in terms of the folding functions, some a little stiff. One of the folding combination tools is able to be detached at the centre so they are a separate knife and fork. Majority of hallmarks clear and legible.
