Condition

Overall in good original condition. The nickel-plated surfaces with scattered rubbing, discolorations, losses to the plating as seen in the catalogue illustration. The rubbing and losses to the plating are concentrated to the high points and the widest points of the contours of the design, as seen in the catalogue illustration. Each with minor surface dirt to the recessed portion of the design. Please contact the department for additional photos of the work. A very nice pair showing matching condition and finish. -----
