Purchasing information-
The bowl of the spoon appears quite tarnished and the whole would benefit from a clean and polish. General surface wear, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Some slightly heavier wear around the edge and towards the tip of the bowl but it has generally faired well. No personal engravings. Hallmarks clear and legible, maker's mark a little distorted but still legible.
