Condition Report
Both ladles display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Numerous deeper scratches and nicks are visible. Also various surface dints and bumps, especially to the bowls. One of the bowls is in poorer condition as there are several dints and creases in the metal and deep scratches and nicks. It is also now a little misshapen. Rounding to edges and loss of detail to engraved crests, which are now very faint. Main hallmarks are clear and legible, some rubbing to maker's marks but still legible.
