No signs of splitting or thinning to the base. There are signs of possible solder repair to the underside (please see images). Central column and handle in good order. Hallmarks to base clear, but hallmarks to column are worn, though still legible, and conform with those on the base. Piece shows scratching, some minor denting and wear overall.

Largest caster (Samuel Wood): Overall good. No large dents, splitting or major damage. Possible signs of repair around a few of the pierced holes in the cover. Some small dents, scratching and wear to exterior. Hallmarks to base clear, and hallmarks to cover are worn but correspond to those on the base.
