Condition report
Amended condition report -
Both very dusty and covered in a layer of tar / grime. Both lack shades. Neither have been rewired and both retain the old two cable wiring.
Both crazed. One has a few nibbles to the rim and some glaze flaws.
The tails don't appear to have been restored - under a very bright light, there is no suggestion of restoration.
