What a fabulous pair here! This is the first time I've had My hands on a naked capped double ribbon core. The dozen or so I've had before all had exterior bands. Two pink & white inner ribbons are "capped" by two fat outer blue jelly ribbons, giving it the illusion of one big fat center ribbon. If you were to remove those two blue capping bands, you would see a double ribbon core. The first at Mint/- 9.35 with one single micro pin head prick seen under loupe and light asmade glass creases. The second at Nm+ 8.9 with a few pin head size tics and micro fleas seen under loupe. Both without any surface wear. Crystal clear. Individually priced, these might be at $175/$200 and $125/$150 respectively. Same cane book value says minimum 2x individual value up to 3x for unusual. I find that 1.5x is usually the going rate for standard same cane and 2x for the more unusual. I'll be in the middle with this pair
