Condition Report
Appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some expected surface wear, marks, scratches and tarnishing in keeping with the age and use. Minor surface nicks throughout and heavier wear around the edges of the two ends, also with some pitting marks. Screw thread opening appears in good order. The metal grate is quite a loose fit, rusted in appearance and with residues of a substance.
