Condition Report
Ink stand is quite heavily tarnished all over and displays general wear and surface marks and scratches. Both bucket inkwells are loose in their fittings and one has come off completely. The man seated on the barrel is also quite loose in its fitting, as the screw on the base on his foot is missing the end piece. The base displays a number of splits in the metal, around the shaped rim and also around the screw holes, which are now quite big. Some solder marks are also visible to the underside.
