I have two sets of grand parents. One was relatively well off, and the other not.
I can say, the cutlery inherited from the poorer pair is not great. Some is bent. Some was broken and then repaired with different materials. Some is just rusted. And the designs are very basic.
It’s one of the few surviving things from them, so I haven’t thrown it away but I doubt my kids will want to inherit it since they don’t even know them.
I think survivorship bias plays into effect here strongly.
