Condition

Overall very good original condition. The chair with a few scattered minor nicks, dings and scratches throughout surfaces consistent with age. One approximately 3 inch scratch to the proper right interior arm rest. With a few minute white paint marks to the exterior edges of both rounded arm rests. Some surface dirt to the two rubber elements connecting the chair body to the arm rests. A wonderful original condition example of this rare chair model.
