The lower wooden portion of the feet with more concentrated nicks, dings and scratches consistent with use. One corner with a minute edge loss measuring ΒΌ inch in length which appears to have occurred a long time ago. The brass side rails present with light discoloration consistent with aging process of metal and some light surface scratches.
