Who graded those? If not GIA or AGSL, all bets on colour and clarity are off.

Apart from that, they both could be nicely cut (in as far as one can judge from the little info available), if somewhat dissimilar from today's "ideal", which has a smaller table and steeper crown.

Which one do you like best?
