Purchasing information
    Both items are in fairly poor condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks and wear. The caster is heavily tarnished and displays numerous dints and creases in the metal. Metal is particularly thin in one area with small holes starting to appear. It is covered by a piece of tape to the interior. Possible removal of engraving from this area. It wobbles a little. The hallmarks are clear and legible, the cover with matching maker's mark.
