Condition
Both are in good "as found" condition. The metal has some crimping at the wrist areas where it curves
around, but no sign of damage or repairs. There is minor pitting and corrosion to the metal as expected
with age. They retain a pleasing natural oxidized surface and patina. They have custom-made iron
stands for presentation.
