Condition report:
Items range from well-used vintage condition to modern pieces in original packaging. The Rabone boxwood rule shows darkening and wear consistent with age and use. Metal tools, specifically the manual clippers and staplers, exhibit surface oxidation and minor pitting. Measuring instruments appear largely complete. Mechanical and electronic items, including the digital caliper and Viceroy shaver, are sold as seen and are untested for working order.
