Condition Report
Both mugs display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible to both and they would benefit from a clean and polish. Numerous deeper scratches and nicks are visible, also some surface dints and bumps. On the mug with the girdle decoration, there is a larger knock to the foot rim and also some more notable knocks to the main rim. Also a couple of small solder repairs. Hallmarks a little rubbed but still legible.
