Condition

good condition overall, each front pad foot with small patch, possible restorations to possibly original skirt drops (minor repairs at wafers), appears to retain its original brasses (slightly reset), typical shrinkage cracks to case sides, scattered bumps and abrasions, strip patch to one side of back edge of top (back edge of top is molded but does not appear to be altered)
