Condition
Each in overall very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. Very minor oxidation to the brass. The glass discs likely replaced, with minor flecks to the bottom edges of each side where the brass mounts to the glass. One disc with a slightly larger chip approximately 1cm across, none of which detract visually.
