Condition
The taperstick is attractive. There is wear and rubbing to raised detail from polishing, but this gives the piece a nice 'aged' feel. It is very slightly mis-shapen and there are typical old marks and scratches. Edges of base with very slight prangs, these do not detract and it is of steady stance.
The wax-jack is generally in good order. The central stem is slightly loose.
