Condition
Overall in good condition. The model is revolving on its original circular base. With the few very minute abrasions, very light tarnish and a few minute scattered surface scratches, consistent with age and gentle handling. As visible in the catalogue illustration there is a concentrated area of scratches with horizontal indentation in a zigzag pattern to the proper left hand side front of the model. The piece has retained its original printed label, the inscription has faded. The color of the label is beige and not copper as shown in the catalogue illustration.
