Condition
Colour of brass is slightly darker overall, and more natural and attractive than in the catalogue photograph. There is some very minor surface dirt commensurate with age. Attractive detail to casting. One glass tube on the lower tier has a small section chipped off, but this is not too noticeable. In overall good condition. A highly unusual model.
