Condition
Overall very good condition. The leather appears to be original and is in very good condition. The leather surfaces are soft to the touch and consistent in a rich brown tone throughout. With a few scattered minor surface scratches to the seat, seatback and reverse consistent with gentle use that do not break the surface of the leather. The chromium-plated metal feet with some minor rubbing to finish and surface scratches consistent with age and use. This offering is rare opportunity to acquire a very good conditioned example of the model.
