Condition Report
The caddy is in exceptional condition for its age. It hasn't been restored so has a few flaws to point out, but the fantastic patination more than makes up for them. The top is ever so slightly warped (see photos). The tin caddies have had many repairs and are not too attractive. One to keep closed perhaps. The lock in present but we don't have a key and are not sure it would work.
