Condition Report
All the spoons display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The spoon bowls appear to have faired quite well, however there is more wear evident towards some of the tips, especially on the 1931 set. Some loss of detail to moulded rims, etc. Some of the slim stems of the coffee bean spoons are a little bent. Overall, the hallmarks and maker's marks are legible.
