Condition

Overall fine condition. Discoloration to the surface and tarnish to the brass fittings consistent with age and use. The circular ring on the stand was previously cracked and re-glued, approximately 1” x 5”, with associated touch ups to the surface. There is an old crack to the globe, that has been repaired and touched-up leaving three slightly visible lines ranging in length from 2-inches to 5-inches emanating from the same point.
