Condition Report
Both bottles display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with their age and use. The silver top to the larger bottle is quite heavily tarnished in places and there are some small surface dints. Hinge and clasp in working order and stopper is present. The hallmarks are clear and legible. Several small edge chips and nicks to the glass. The glass on the smaller bottle is in similar overall condition, however there are also some large cracks visible in the glass. The silver displays areas of tarnishing and there are some dints to the lid. The hallmarks appear rubbed but legible, and the hallmarks around the collar are partly cut off.
