  • Condition: **The Smith & Rait set in quite good condition with no issues noted beyond some light wear consistent with age. Lovely case with some scuffs on the outside but nice, clean interior. One fork lacking as noted in the catalogue description. The Yates set is also in good condition, with a few bumps from use, but no losses to the silvering and all tines/blades secure and well-seated. The case is in fair condition with a rectangular split on the exterior lid and losses and abrasions on the outside and some soiling and discoloration on the interior; hinges and latch intact and functional.
