Condition Report
The forks display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some general minor nicks to the ivory handles and some of them have small cracks around the top of the handle, at the join with the silver fork. One of these handles also has a much larger split and cracks in the ivory further down. On four of the forks, there is now a gap between the top of the handle and the silver fork section. The fork prongs appear to have faired quite well, although there is a little bit more wear towards the tips. All the hallmarks are clear and legible.
