Condition
a few small creases and dings throughout, plating rubbed off at some high spots of window frames and rims, rim of gallery with two dents, the stopper with shallow dents, interior of top with some small dents, otherwise good; the base is recessed and there are three brackets that would hold something in place- a previous shaker had a music box underneath, so perhaps this also had one at some point
