The larger clock with oxidation and ware to the lacquer overall. The top oval glass loose, scratches marks, and dents to the back plate and case overall. Seemingly going when wound but the chime not working correctly, in need of a clean and an overhaul.
The smaller timepiece, wear to the lacquer overall, glasses loose, in need of a clean but seemingly complete and going when wound but not guaranteed working.
No keys for either clock.
