Condition Report
All pieces display general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. Some are also quite tarnished, especially the condiment spoons. Some deeper scratches in places and various nicks and pitting marks. Loss of detail to most of the engraved monograms. Some of the forks display quite a lot of wear to the prongs. There is quite a lot of wear and visible scratches to the teaspoon bowls, especially towards the tips. Hallmarks are mainly legible, although many of the maker's marks are partly or completely distorted, especially on the Elizabeth Eaton pieces.
