Condition Report
All the pieces in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The tips of the knife blades display more wear around the edges. The spoon bowls appear to have faired quite well with just a little bit more wear to the tips and some minor nicks to edges. Some slight loss of detail to moulded rims or decoration. Some rubbing but hallmarks are mainly legible.
