Condition

Overall in very good condition. The cast iron surfaces with some occasional abrasions, and traces of surface corrosion and discoloration consistent with age and use. The painted metal display stand being offered with this lot shows some light surface scratches and abrasions, and with traces of corrosion along the front border of the base plate. The newel post displays very impressively in person with great visual presence.
