Both spoons appear tarnished and display general expected surface wear, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Loss of surface detail to feather edge and crests. Some heavier surface nicks and scratches to bowls but they have retained their shape and faired quite well. Elastic band marks to stems. Hallmarks are bottom struck and appear very squashed with date letters illegible.
