Condition Report
In varied state, however all the pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Some pieces appear more well used than others. Heavier wear to the tips of many of the fork tines so that they are now a little uneven, and some are also a little bent. Also heavier wear around the edges and tips of many of the spoon bowls with some dints and bumps and denser scratches and nicks. Heavier spots and patches of tarnishing to some pieces. Some rubbing and slight distortion but the hallmarks and maker's are mainly clear and legible.
