Condition Report
Both ink pots display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. The silver mounts to both are in fairly poor condition with numerous dints and bumps and areas of heavy tarnishing. The hinges are also quite loose and one of them does not close properly. The interior of this lid is very heavily tarnished. Rubbing and distortion to some of the hallmarks but they are mainly still legible. Some small edge and corner chips to the glass.
