Condition:
Very good vintage condition overall. The red pepper mill has one small dent in the edge of an outer turned ring, apparently from being bumped. It is a dent rather than a scrape or chip. The dent is shown in a dedicated close-up photograph. There are also minor signs of age and use consistent with vintage wooden pieces.

The photographs show the mills from multiple angles, including the tops, bottoms and mechanisms, dimensions, wood grain, markings, and the small dent on the red mill.
