Condition Report
All the spoons display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some wear to gilding. Spoon bowls have generally faired quite well, however there is more wear around edges and to tips and also some edge nicks. The hallmarks are mainly clear and legible, some rubbing and distortion to some of maker's marks.
