Condition Report: The hinge to the bottom of the foot is a bit wobbly. The hinge pin is coming out at one end and requires adjustment. The grater is in good condition. There is only very minor rusting.The finial is in good condition. The crest is a little rubbed. The hallmarks are clear but are impacted with silver cleaning polish. There are no serious dents to the body or lid of the urn. It would benefit from cleaning. As far as we can tell, there are no previous erasures to any part of the surface. The hinge to the top is just slightly loose, there are no signs of repair to the hinges.
