Condition Report
The overall condition of both appears to be fairly good. Silver mounts to both tankards display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper scratches are visible and some minor surface nicks and dints. On the plain example there is some damage to the inside of the silver rim, there are more visible dints and a split in the metal in one area. The hallmarks are mainly clear and legible, some slight rubbing and those around the rim are slightly cut off at the bottom. The glass appears to be generally okay.
