Condition report:
The collection is in used, as-found condition throughout. The hatchet and ball-peen hammer heads exhibit heavy surface rust and oxidation (photo 3). The wooden handles on the striking tools are weathered and show signs of significant age and wear (photo 1). The boxed socket set has visible wear and tearing to the outer cardboard packaging and the completeness of the internal components has not been verified (photo 2). Plastic handles on the screwdrivers and pliers show surface scratches and general workshop grime (photo 6). The decorating tools and brushes show remnants of past use, although the Harris brush remains protected within its original cardboard sleeve (photo 4).
