Condition Report
The coaster displays general wear including surface scratching, marks and knocks commensurate with the age and use. Several areas of damage and obvious repairs to the pierced sides. Also some splits in the metal and slight lifting at the base rim where the silver mounts the wood. Quite heavy tarnishing is visible and it would benefit from a clean and polish. The hallmarks and maker's marks appear rubbed but are still mainly legible.
