Additional Notes & Condition Report

Bases: each appears to be in generally good condition; each retains three ball screws, however, one of these is larger than the other five, which are about one-half the size, and the larger ball screw does not thread properly and securely through the ring-shaped mount (the shaft is apparently too thin); one of the smaller ball screws also does not thread properly; each has a uniform chocolate brown colored patina; patina now somewhat uniformly dulled (would benefit from being waxed); each stands nice and straight

Shades: each with numerous scattered chip losses to the fitter rims, otherwise, in generally good condition; each with internally trapped air bubbles, in the making, not of great consequence; nice pink highlights to the feathered motifs

Please note: one of the shades fits well into place when positioned onto the bronze base; the other shade fits, however, not entirely well (circumference of fitter rim of shade and circumference of ring-shaped well area at the top of the base are too similar, resulting in a tight fit
