Condition Report
Appears in fair to good overall condition, displaying some general tarnishing and expected surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age and use. There is some heavier wear to the tips of some of the fork tines but they are mostly okay. Overall, the spoon bowls have also generally faired quite well with some heavier wear around the tips and edges of some. A couple of other things to note - the tines of the fish server fork are quite bent and uneven. There is a small crack to one of the spoons. Some rubbing and distortion to hallmarks but they are mostly legible.
The pieces with the mark of Gilbert Marks are as follows:-
13 side forks
16 table forks
1 dessert spoon
10 side spoons
6 table knives.
