The forks approx. 8¹⁄₂ in. long, the tines mostly straight with some end tines slightly pinched. One fork with an old repair to agate handle and reglued at narrowest point, losses to terminal. The knives approx. 8³⁄₄ in. long, with scattered very tiny bruises to the edges and tips of the blades. All tines and blades secure. Two forks with tines separating slightly from base and showing solder, but secure. The wood case with overall wear and scratches, the green-velvet lined and fitted trays with little wear and scuffing, the felt to the underside of the case separating. Together with key.
