Condition Report
Both casters display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Deeper scratches and nicks are visible and both also display some small surface dints. There are some larger dints visible to the baluster caster, especially around the lower bulbous section. Both detachable lids are a tight fit, however they are struck with part hallmarks. The flange to the lid on the baluster caster is slightly misshapen. The main body of the larger caster appears slightly squashed into the base on one side so that it now leans very slightly. All hallmarks are clear and legible.
