Condition report:
The canisters are in good used condition, exhibiting light shelf wear and minor scuffing to the labels. The black metal lids are intact with some minor finish loss and surface oxidation. The plastic containers show no signs of cracking or significant deformation. As these are reloading components, the canisters appear to contain live smokeless propellant, though the exact weight and consistency of the contents have not been verified by the auction house.
