Condition Report
The pieces are in varied condition but all display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The spoon bowls on the teaspoons have faired quite well, although there is more wear towards the tips, the hallmarks are clear and legible. The bowls on the tablespoons are in fairly poor condition with numerous dints and deep scratches, the metal is also thinner towards the tips and they are quite worn. The hallmarks are clear and legible. The butter knife is in fairly poor condition. The mother of pearl handle on the fork has pulled out of the mount slightly.
