Purchasing information-
The coffee pot displays some tarnishing and is quite tired and dull in appearance. Heavily stained to interior. General surface scratches, marks, wear and some dints and bumps. Knocks to the foot rim. Hinges to the lid are loose and allow sideways movement. The lid does not sit well and possibly later replacement, appears unmarked? The wood handle is also loose in the silver mounts. It wobbles slightly on a flat surface. Hallmarks located below the rim, rubbed but still legible.
