A George III silver shovel form caddy spoon by Matthew Linwood, with mother of pearl terminal, Birmingham 1813, a 19th century white metal caddy spoon, a George III silver shovel form caddy spoon by Stephen Adams, London 1792 together with two other silver caddy spoons. CONDITION REPORT: The Matthew Linwood shovel form spoon with mother of pearl terminal is in good condition with a clear hallmark and makers mark. The surface has slight scuffing and wear commensurate with age and use together with an extremely small dent to the front edge of bowl. The shovel form spoon by Stephen Adams is of good gauge and quality, apart from slight surface wear appears to be good example with clear hallmark and makers mark. The two other hallmarked silver spoons are both in good overall condition but do have slightly dull and scuffed surfaces. The shovel form spoon with long mother of pearl terminal (catalogued as white metal) does bear hallmarks but these are right to the inside of the bowl and constitute purely a lion passant mark together with a monarch head. The terminal is free of chips or cracks whilst the shovel bowl is slightly misshaped and to the underside bears oxidised circular label mark which does appear to be removable with cleaning.
