Condition
Overall excellent original condition. With some minor tarnish to the silver components. The glass with some air bubbles and irregularities inherent in the making. The wooden handle with some rubbing to the finish and some white residue adjacent to the mounts. With an area of discoloration to the handle that appears like a liquid stain measuring less than ¼ inch in diameter. A superb example of the form.
