. Each fully marked on base and part marked on nozzle. The marks have some wear but are generally clear. The bases further marked with design registration diamond and 'Elkington & Co'. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. The wear is noticeable as a softening to the high points. There is a small split at the bottom of the stem on one. This stick leans slightly. Would benefit from a proper polish.
