Condition Report
Both inkstands display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing in keeping with their age and use. Minor dints and bumps to both. Hinged lids appear in working order. Likely replacement baize to base of capstan. The hallmarks to the earlier inkstand are clear and legible, also matching clear hallmarks to the silver neck and lid of the glass ink bottle. The hallmarks on the capstan inkwell appear quite rubbed and worn but still legible.
