Condition Report; The Caddy; scratch to the body runs through the top of part of the fluting and also at the top section, otherwise a few dents, there is a dent to the fluting of the detachable cover. Scratched jeweller's code marks to the underside. 1cm above the bottom of the base, there is a solder join that runs right the way round, we are undecided as to whether this is a repair or as originally made
