Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The two metal sheets lay flat and level. There are spot accretions, some light surface soiling and scattered surface scratches noted to both elements. There is evidence of oxidation to both, more pronounced on the underside of the steel sheet. Upon close inspection, there are a couple very minor, unobtrusive nicks along the edges.
