The steel worm is straight, with a pointed tip and usable edge; minor oxidation is visible near the lower turns. The handle block and shank remain firm, with no evident looseness in assembly. Nickel plating is generally well preserved, showing light scratches, small areas of wear, and normal age-related rubbing. The matching opener shows comparable surface wear but no distortion. The fitted case is complete, with intact hinges and catches, and expected wear to the exterior and lining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1449\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1459\"\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1467\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1467\" data-end=\"1482\"\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thomas Guenther Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRef.
