The artwork is in very good condition. The black and white pin striped background is in very good condition displaying excellent crispness and legibility. The T-shaped painted metal roads are in good condition with the exception of several rods that show minor rusting. The rods, which swivel in their place, are not perfectly straight and show some variation in their profile and positioning. Minor white scuffmarks were observed on the bottom edge of the black frame. No significant scratches or abrasions were noted on the surface.
