No cracks or chips in castings. These were made by L.R. NELSIN in Peoria Illinois. L. R. Nelson items are usually very pricey and hard to find. I believe at one time they had a brass finnish to them . Very rustic primitive feel to them. Great for a cabin. They feature some sort of shield on them. In the 15th picture where my finger is pointing. I will remove that bolt for shipping purposes. I've already had it out once it's easy to get in and out.

     If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  Shipping is to the lower states only. Thanks for looking, and have a great day.
