Condition Report
In varied state, however all display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing is visible, especially to many of the spoon bowls. Numerous deeper scratches and nicks are visible, however the spoon bowls on the set of five have generally faired quite well. The crests are still clear and the hallmarks are clear and legible, some rubbing and partial distortion to maker's marks. Many of the other spoon bowls are in poorer condition with various dints and bumps and with more wear to the tips. Hallmarks are in varied state but most are legible.
