Additional Notes & Condition Report
Each bottle is in generally good condition; one bottle has minor nicks to the interior of the mouth/neck area; one bottle has a small nick to the exterior side on the upper stepped bulbous portion of the shoulder area below one of the bosses; both stoppers have small nicks and superficial scratches to the glass portion; each bottle is engraved "W. Fritsche" near the base; the name Webb does not appear on either bottle; the gold mounts on the stoppers are engraved with a monogram; each gold mount is stamped on the underside: TIFFANY & CO MAKERS 1861 and has a lower case "m" date letter; presumably the gold mounts are original to the bottles and not later additions.
