Condition Report
All four spoons display general wear in keeping with their age and use, including surface scratches and pitting marks and tarnishing. Some slight dints and bumps and heavier wear around the edges and to the tips of the bowls. The bowls on the pair of spoons have faired better than on the single spoons. In particular the bowl of the 1769 spoon appears a little misshapen and slightly ground down around the tip. The hallmarks are mainly legible, although some appear a little rubbed, squashed or distorted.
