Very Good. Interesting thing! The only NN Shroff & Co we can find is a modern day Indian firm. The bottles are old and the sides match the grooves in the bottles nicely. Possibly the Tantalus made later to fit the bottles. The middle bottle is slightly different to the outer two. The White Rose one has a large chip to the back top. The stoppers clearly aren't original but fit well. Comes with a little padlock and keys but you may want a nicer looking lock on the end! Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
