Not cleaned, maybe an old dip here and there but re-toning nicely.
I like them both for $45 each.

1905. Onward and upward.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The 05 suffers from an old cleaning but is retoning nicely. The 09 appears to be original but has a lot of funky ticks around the head. Six of one, half dozen of the other.

The 1st one. It looks like it's taken a light cleaning at one point, but it has retoned to what I would call market acceptable.

I like the 1905 easily over the 1909.
