Condition Report
The three spoons display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper scratches and nicks are visible and some minor surface bumps. Loss of detail and definition to engraved initial on the cheese scoop. The spoon bowls have generally faired quite well, however the Georgian caddy spoon does feel a little thinner towards the edges and there are some deeper scratches and nicks visible. Some slight rubbing but hallmarks are all legible.
