Condition report:
The metal containers show signs of age and handling consistent with long-term storage. The red finish exhibits surface scratches, minor scuffing, and some areas of light oxidation, particularly along the top and bottom seams. The screw caps appear intact and functional. While the cans are closed, the presence of handwritten markings suggests they may have been handled or sorted by a previous owner; the internal condition and exact volume of the powder have not been verified.
