More Information

Handles show no signs of splitting or solder repair. The handles are heavily dented, and show general scratching and wear commensurate with age and use, and there is some loss of definition to the cast detail. There is some minor gapping between the handle and the blades/tines. Heavy scratching and wear to the blades/tines, however no obvious splitting, thinning or repair. Moderate wear to the purple felt interior, commensurate with age and use. There is a large split to the cover (as seen in the third picture) and some splitting to the corners of the box and cover. Box shows heavy scratching and wear throughout, commensurate with age and use.
