Condition Report
Both mugs display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with their age and use. Some quite heavy tarnishing is visible to both and they would benefit from a clean and polish. A few shallow dints to both and areas of heavier scratches and nicks. Seam lines visible to the Edwardian mug. The base of the handle of the 1930's mug is compressed slightly so that a slight indentation is visible to the interior. The hallmarks and maker's mark appear quite worn on the 1930's mug but they are still legible. The hallmarks on the Edwardian mug are clear and legible.
