Condition Report
Both lamps display general surface scratches, contact marks, surface nicks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Heavy tarnishing is visible to both and they would benefit from a clean and polish. Some dints and bumps to both. The removable sections are quite a tight fit and the lower rings are quite heavily dinted, possibly from the repeated action of taking them in and out. Some rubbing and slight distortion to some of the maker's marks and hallmarks but mainly legible. The removable sections are fully hallmarked.
