Condition Report
All four spoons display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The Hester Bateman table spoon is in fair condition, however the long drop on the reverse of the bowl has nearly completely worn away. The other three spoons are in poorer condition. Heavier tarnishing and wear around the edges and tips of the bowls. Also several dints and bumps and grinding down of the tips of the bowls. The teaspoon has faired the worse. Some rubbing and distortion but the hallmarks are mostly legible.
