Summary Good
Assessor Troy Wibberley
Notes Item is structurally sound, is in good condition given its estimated age and overall is suitable to remain on display. Any damage to the item is purely superficial, the black paint on the frame has begun to oxidise, light rust and wear can be seen on the placards mounted on the front of the frame. The main tank features small paint chips and the nozzle displays clear signs of surface rust and general wear.
