I purchased this about 30 years ago from an import goods store in Kobe. It's been kept in its bag, waiting for the day I'd use it. Although unused, I believe there is some age-related deterioration. Please check the photos. It has a pattern of gods? or Buddha statues, and I think it's probably made of brass and wood. It is stamped with: THAILAND NICKEL BRONZE SIAM These are Asian-style cutlery, like the kind you'd find at a Thai restaurant. There are 5 spoons, 5 forks, and 3 butter knives? Recommended for those who like an antique atmosphere or Asian goods. It will be shipped via Yu-Packet Post.
