Purchasing information-
Both salts display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Several dints and bumps to both and loss of detail and definition to the floral embossing. Also some small holes starting to appear in the embossed decoration. Both wobble very slightly in the standing position. The hallmarks and maker's marks appear rubbed but legible. Further impressed marks are distorted and difficult to read but likely retailer's marks. Liners deficient.
