Ep Identification Help

I just purchased a 8" Celestron StarHopper for a new family scope that will sit next to the tree this Christmas (too big to fit under).

I purchased it from a gentleman who is a member of a local Astro club and he is moving and buying a bigger scope once he moves to a new state. With the scope he included two eyepieces a 25mm and a 10mm.

As i am an absolute novice can anyone tell me if the ep's he included in the sale are any good? They are both 1.25" EP's one says KE 10mm Wide Angle Fully Coated the other says KE 25mm Winde Angle Fully coated.

Can anyone assist in identifying and evaluating these EP's?

Those would be Kelner EPs. They should be fine for that scope. Edges are a little soft, but wider FOV than the Plossl.
