Condition Report
Both spoons display general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age. Some of these scratches are deeper and more noticeable, especially to the spoon bowls - front and reverse. There is also a little bit of tarnishing. The spoon bowls are more worn and slightly thinner towards the tips. There is some wear to the figurative finials and also to the dove decoration. Hallmarks are all clear although it is difficult to determine exactly which date letter it is.
