Condition
**In generally quite good condition. Each cellar has a small pinhole on the back under the hinge, probably an original solder vent now worn a bit larger. One cellar has a tiny split and spot-solder repair on the basal edge. Visible joins. Marks excellent. A very attractive pair with negligible condition issues.
