There are several small bends and knocks to the metalwork in line with age and usage. Pleaseant verdigris finish. Glass intact but we are not sure what type of glass it is. The little hatches are a mystery perhaps used for lighting / extinguishing when it was a gas lantern.  One of the covers in question has a a stiff hinge, probably corroded so it does not work properly.  The other has a replacement hinge and catch.  These sold at Chorleys May 2019 auction for £1,300, they were not dated in that sale and I am inclined to say these are 20th Century having inspected them.

All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of the sale. You acknowledge that many Lots are of an age and type such that they are not in perfect condition. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may refer to imperfections of a Lot, but Lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the Catalogue or condition report. Illustrations are for identification purposes only and may not convey full information as to the actual condition of a Lot. You accept responsibility for carrying out your own inspections and investigations of Lots in which you may be interested. You should inspect a Lot before bidding to determine and to satisfy yourself as to its condition, size, description and whether it has been repaired or restored, as applicable, and we accept bids on Lots solely on this basis. Condition reports may be available to assist when inspecting Lots. Lots will be available for viewing in person at our premises or another location and viewing information will be available on our website.
