Condition Report
The caster displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Some quite heavy tarnishing is visible and it would benefit from a clean and polish. Some small dints, especially around the flange. Slight flattening and loss of surface detail to decoration and a couple of tiny holes starting to appear in the lid, but it is generally still good. The cover appears to fit well, although the bayonet fitting is a little worn so that it no longer locks in position. The hallmarks are clear and legible, part hallmarks to cover.
