Condition Report
All of the spoons display general wear and surface marks and scratches. On the set of six Victorian spoons, the bowls appear quite thin in places, especially towards the tips, and some of them have several dints around the edge. Hallmarks are a little distorted in places but still legible. There is quite a lot of damage to the other set of six spoons and one spoon in particular has broken and is now in two parts.
