Condition Report
Caster displays general wear, surface marks and scratches and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. There are a couple of small dints to the pierced cover and the inner flange has a slight dint to one side so that it is slightly misshapen. The main body has a number of small nicks and surface dints and it appears slightly squashed and pushed in around the base, just above the short stem of the foot. The hallmarks to the underside of the base are partly distorted due to the over striking of three further marks. Date letter is not visible at all. Part hallmarks to the cover are clear and legible and comprise the standard mark and maker's mark.
