The reverse of each tip is impressed with a mark reading STERLING. An additional impressed maker mark consisting of two short, horizontal parallel lines is located on the upper reverse of both items. Length: approximately 1.25 inches Weight: 0.285 ozt. The watch tips are in good condition with wear consistent with age and use. Surface scratches and heavy tarnish are visible in the recessed areas of the silver work (Photos 1, 2, and 3). Small deposits of green oxidation residue are present near the base of the mounting bars (Photos 1 and 3). The reverse surfaces exhibit numerous fine scratches (Photo 4). The cabochons appear secure in their settings with no visible cracks or chips.
