More Information

A small hole to underside of the lower loop of the handle, which we think is due to poor casting than a fault, the base, where fitted to the foot is somewhat crude, possible re-soldering but of age, see images, very tiny shallow dent to the body which will not photograph clearly. Provenance - Old Guernsey family now living in Bristol - here to be sold.
