Description

Two long, narrow metal blades lie side by side on a pale card, each with a pointed tip and a tapering shank ending in a curled top. The surfaces are pitted and encrusted with corrosion, and the left blade has a pale patch near its centre. Small paper labels with handwritten numbers sit near the top, and a number label with blue wavy marks and a round disc appear at the bottom centre.
