Condition Report
The pot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. There is heavier tarnishing to some areas and it would benefit from a clean and polish. Numerous surface dints and bumps are visible, in particular some larger dents around the bulbous section. There are also some creases in the metal in this area and solder is visible between some of the lobed sections. There is a fixing pin missing at the top of the handle, so that the middle section is now quite loose. The inner rim of the detachable lid is a little misshapen, however it still fits snugly. Maker's marks are a little rubbed and distorted, however the other hallmarks are clear and legible. Matching part hallmarks to the lid.
