Condition report:
The green plastic storage case shows significant age-related wear, including brownish discoloration and green residue along the edges and interior dividers. The five steel dies exhibit light surface oxidation and minor corrosion, particularly on the knurled surfaces and within the threads. The mechanical threads appear to be in functional condition, though the set has not been tested for precision and thorough cleaning is recommended before use.
