Condition
Very good condition overall, consistent with age and gentle use. The enamel slightly dulled with light scattered surface scratches and a few very minor chips, concentrated to the top neck and near the base of the feet. The brass coupler with a very minor dent which does not detract. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and suggests having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
