Original Presentation Box: Blue cardboard box with the velvet-lined insert and original plastic structural sleeve. Condition Details: Silverplate Handles: The handles show a healthy, authentic vintage patina with natural tarnish and rainbow toning along the edges. They will shine up beautifully if polished, but have been left in their original estate condition for collectors who prefer the aged look. Blades & Tines: The stainless steel sections are sturdy and firmly attached to the handles. The knife blade shows some minor surface scuffs, light scratches, and typical signs of age/honing from vintage use. Box Condition: The original box is intact but shows significant wear from decades of storage. There is masking tape running across the front and back of the cardboard sleeve, scuffing on the edges, and cracking/tearing on the clear plastic protective display window (please see photos).
