Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces present with surface scratches, edge abrasions, light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. The tops with some areas of sun fading visible in the catalogue illustration. With a minor edge indentation to the interior of the extension along ½ in, only visible upon inspection. The lacquered Masonite with minor surface scratches and dirt consistent with age and gentle use. The metal surfaces with minor surface scratches, some minor abrasions and traces of oxidation consistent with age and gentle use. The two upper handles of the black drawers possibly replaced at some point in the history of the desk. The lower handles with minor oxidation. The lacquered metal surfaces of the drawers with wear to the upper edge and a few minor evidences of repainting adjacent to the handles. A great example of the model.
