Estimate £250-300

There are at least two visible separate old repairs around the foot rim, both of which cover a small area each (silver solder), probaly splits? Possibly more smaller reapairs to the foot also. There is a cluster of small dings to the main body just above the foot rim. Possibly a removal, as the silver gauge is a little thinner close to this area. Average condition, considering age. Date letter and lion visible, vague remnants of Britannia.
There is a very slow leak when filled with liquid.
