- Handle: The twisted brass handle has a slight aesthetic tilt (not perfectly vertical), but it remains completely sturdy, structurally sound, and fully functional.
- Feet / Base (Slightly Bent & Distorted): The brass bracket feet on the bottom show a slight distortion/bend from age and use. It still stands independently and maintains decent stability, but please note this vintage wear.
- Interior & Bottom: The interior compartment shows minor scratches and scuffs from holding materials. The bottom metal base plate shows authentic signs of age, including original paint wear and minor surface rust around the hardware as pictured. Everything is securely tightened with no wobbling. Please refer to all detailed photos for a closer look.
- Markings: Unmarked. (Vintage Peerage Brass items were originally identified by paper/foil stickers which typically wear off over decades of use). Attributed to Peerage England based on its distinctive Neoclassical design, signature hardware layout, and authentic craftsmanship.
