Condition Report
The caster displays general wear, tarnishing and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. There are spots of tarnishing and numerous nicks and small dints to the main body and cover. There is some damage to the foot, it is pushed down on one side creating various creases in the metal, also dints to the foot rim. There is considerable loss of detail to the diaper pattern on the cover and wear around the pierced holes. The cover no longer fits properly in the main body so it is possibly not the original. Hallmarks are struck to the base in a group and are legible. There are no visible hallmarks to the cover.
