Condition Report
Both casters display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Both would benefit from a polish. Some dints and bumps, mainly visible around the base of the Samuel Wood caster. There is some visible solder around the join of the foot on this caster, possible repair? The foot of the bun top caster is slightly compressed. Some slight distortion but the hallmarks to both are still legible. Both covers appear unmarked.
