3.15.25-In my opinion regarding LOT: 3004-I’m sorry, we do not test such items and suggest decorative use only, as we do not know what has previously been stored in such items, the spigot handle does move however very tightly, interior shows much wear and some oxidation, exterior does show some minor loss of plate, mostly concentrated to gadrooning and raised edges, I further note some minor dings, light surface war, and minor imperfections all as commensurate with age and use
