Condition Report
All three spoons display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Numerous heavier scratches and nicks and some heavier spots of tarnishing. All three bowls with some dints and bumps and heavier wear around the tips. Some loss of surface detail to engraved crests. The 1820 spoon has three drilled holes in it, two located at the tip of the bowl and one at the base where it joins the stem. The hallmarks appear a little rubbed in places but are all still legible.
