Condition Report
Both spoons display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The berry spoon displays heavier tarnishing and would benefit from a clean and polish. Deeper scratches and nicks are visible to both spoons. The spoon bowls have faired quite well, some minor bumps and more wear around the edges and tips. Some slight loss of detail to decoration on the berry spoon. Marks on berry spoon are partly distorted. Maker's mark on table spoon is slightly rubbed but otherwise the hallmarks are clear and legible.
