each appears to be in generally good, undamaged condition; one cover with extensive wear and dulling to its patina; this same cover also has a small old ding to the figure's proper left cheek; each body and the other cover with typical wear and dulling to the patina, commensurate with age and handling; each interior is generally clean, however, one box does have a bit of splotchiness to its interior finish, not of great consequence
