Condition report:
The canisters show varying physical condition. The left canister appears in good condition with minor surface wear to the plastic and label. The right canister shows significant structural damage, with the plastic body being heavily crushed and dented on the front and side, which has caused heavy creasing and distortion to the label. Both red screw-top lids remain present. The powder is assumed to be live and in its original state, though the internal condition has not been independently verified. Bidders should inspect the integrity of the damaged container prior to use.
