Condition Report
Both rattles display general wear, some tarnishing and general surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. Both display some deeper scratches and some small surface dints to some areas. Remnants of polish to some parts, especially the embossed decoration on the larger rattle. Hallmarks to the ball rattle are clear and legible. Hallmarks to the other example are distorted in parts. The dragon ornament appears to be generally okay, it is possibly the top from a cane.
