Condition

Overall in very good original condition. The leather portion of the standard with some shallow surface scratches, rubbing and patination to the leather. The enameled shades each show to concentrated areas of surface scratches throughout, some of which appear the result of the contact among the shades. The chromium plated elements with minor traces of discolorations and rubbing consistent with age and gentle use. A nice example of the form, which a switch along the standard.
