Condition Report
The toast rack displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Some quite heavy tarnishing and would benefit from a polish. Several repairs at the joins of the bars to the base and there are also some further breaks. Also possible repairs to joins of handle. Engraved crests are quite worn. The hallmarks are clear and legible, also with crudely stippled initials 'N(?) K M'.
