Condition:
Very good antique condition with a few issues. One hook on the tool stand is broken off at tip--can still hold brush with wire loop; two small holes in screen, and vertical crease line visible down center of screen; rust across the bottom of screen, and rust and oxidation across the top of screen; beautiful patina on tool set with loss of brass finish throughout set. A little cosmetic TLC will put this set back in great shape; or leave as is, with little detriment; priced accordingly. Please see pictures for best indication of condition.
