Purchasing information-
The caddy is heavily tarnished throughout and would benefit from a clean and polish. General surface wear, marks and scratches and several small surface dints. Hinged lid appears in working order and closes well, although there are some slight gaps and also a dint to one side edge. All the legs appear to have suffered knocks and are at slightly different angles. Consequently it wobbles slightly. Some rubbing and distortion to hallmarks but mostly legible.
