Brand new never used. This is one of the more beautiful sets I have ever obtained of these. There is no pitting or corrosion or anything like that on the set. Usually when you see these and they have been sitting in the case, you have quite a bit of that. That is not present here. They will need a good scrubbing once you take them out. The tamperproof seal is still intact and these have never left the case. They have been sitting in storage so other than a little dust, they are in excellent condition.Once again, probably one of the best sets of these I have ever obtained.
