Condition
The panel is in excellent condition considering its age. All of the small painted squares on their posts are accounted for. Some of the squares swivel when pushed. A shiny accretion was observed on the top edge on the top right pinstripe panel. A faint discoloration was found on the black panel on the bottom right corner below the white post on the top right corner. The pinstriped panels are in very good condition. Minor dimensional cracking was noted along the seams of the white background panel, which is typical of its age. The sides of the white background panel are slightly soiled from age and handling. In-painting was noted on the side on the top left corner of the white background panel. (This condition report has been prepared courtesy of Wilson Conservation, LLC)
