In varied state, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The tongs would benefit from a clean and polish, engraved 'A.C. FROM THE F. C.I.' to the terminal. The button hook has a base metal component. The ferrule on the pickle fork with mother-of-pearl handle is split and missing a piece, causing it to rotate. The other pickle fork is missing its handle. Hallmarks worn in places but still just legible. This lot may have export issues, for customers outside of the EU, please note that it is the buyers responsibility to adhere to any import/export requirements.
