A Lasting Legacy: The Estate of Michael Mennello

The flatware pieces are in overall good condition. The dinner and luncheon knives have replaced blades, marked Tiffany & Co. 
No monograms.
The luncheon knives silver surfaces have scattered areas of pitting at and just below the hafts.
Four of the salad forks have slight tarnish and/or scarce pitting.
Two of the teaspoons have very tiny pits to the bowls.
Nine of the dinner knives have minor areas of pitting along the handle seams.
The "pitting" is almost impossible to show in a photograph as it is so small.

There is a slight variation on the arc of the place spoons, salad forks, and luncheon forks, which may be because this is an assembled service.

Dinner knife length 10 3/8 inches.
