Condition Report
All three spoons display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper scratches and various minor nicks to some areas. The Victorian example has remnants of a sticker to the reverse of the bowl. There are some areas of solder visible to the reverse of the stem, indicating a repair or alteration or possibly that the stem is not original to the bowl. No hallmarks on the stem, the hallmarks on the reverse of the bowl appear rubbed but legible. The floral rim on the Georgian example is possibly a later addition. The hallmarks on the reverse of the stem appear quite rubbed but are still just legible. On the later example, there is still a sticker present on the reverse of bowl. The maker's mark is slightly worn, but otherwise hallmarks clear and legible.
