Condition Report
In varied state, however all six spoons in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. The Fiddle pattern Georgian spoon and both the Edwardian and later spoon all appear in fairly good overall condition. The bowl to the smaller Georgian example is quite misshapen and of a thin gage and there are lots of little dints and nicks. Some rubbing but the hallmarks on all four spoons are still legible. No personal engravings visible. The other two spoons are quite tarnished. Repairs and alterations to the shell bowl spoon.
