Condition
Good. This is, as noted in the catalogue description, an 1816-1819 set by Paul Storr with 20th-century additions. Please request a detail sheet for the specifications of the pieces, age, marks, lengths and weights. All pieces are in generally good condition with wear consistent with age and use. The five original Storr lunch knives have replaced steel blades. The Storr forks have worn tines which have been slightly clipped to even them out. One Storr teaspoon has been heavily repaired, probably having suffered waste disposal damage. The large Storr carving set has the original steel fittings, the other two have later replacements. The Storr fish serving fork has later sterling tines. The case - which was clearly made for this set, probably around the time of the 1980-81 Vander additions - is in good condition, with some exterior bumps and scuffs.
