ITEM NOTES: This is from an Imperial German Collectibles collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJJX17 LBDEX03/17

CONDITION: 7 (Very Fine): The cast iron is in good shape, but the copper has been worn down due to use, rendering some of the words as well as the picture on the reverse very hard to make out
