Condition

Overall in very good condition. The hand-wrought copper surfaces retain their original patina, with some occasional light surface scratches, gentle rubbing, and a few small areas of surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. The bottom interior with surface soiling. All of the rivets are intact and undisturbed. A superb example of the model, displaying exceptional hand-hammering and a particularly rich russet brown patina.
