Condition Report
All the spoons display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The pair of George III spoons appear in fairly good overall condition and the hallmarks are clear and legible with just some slight rubbing. Some heavier tarnishing to the other two spoons and both would benefit from a clean and polish. The bowls on these two spoons are a little knocked and out of shape, especially the early Georgian one. The hallmarks on this spoon are quite squashed and distorted. The hallmarks on the Victorian spoon are rubbed but legible.
