Total lot weight: No

All the forks display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  The set of Georgian forks display heavier wear and heavier tarnishing throughout.  Some of the tines are in poor condition and are very uneven in length, having been worn down.  They are also a little bent.  Elastic band marks to some of the stems.  Slight loss of surface detail to crests.  The overall condition of the Victorian forks appears fairly good and the tines have faired well.  Some elastic band marks to stems.  Some rubbing but the hallmarks are all still legible.  The maker's mark is missing from one of the Georgian forks.
