Last collector says this is another by John Harper.
Please see photographs provided for more details and visual confirmation of condition.
Normal signs of age and use wear including some surface scuffs and minor impact marks etc.
The steeple at the top is bent slightly, not sure how this has happened since I'm pretty sure that it's solid iron.

Scale is usually an English 1 penny coin which is 20mm in diameter which is just short of 7/8ths of an inch in diameter, or a universal Coke can, and we all know how big those are.
If you see A/F = a/f in the title or description it means "as found" condition which may have scuffs, scratches and damage. In relation to all my listings it does not mean " about fine ". I have used A/F for " as found " for 45 years.
