拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

The website illustrations are accurate despite being slightly too bright. Overall in good condition for a globe of this age and size, wear and marks consistent with age and use. The stand as catalogued of later, perhaps c.1900, manufacture. The globe re-varnished with some dirt trapped beneath. Usual dents, scratches and wear with slight loss of legibility in places, a drip of black paint in Pacific. Losses to horizon ring. The brass polished by current owners prior to consignment. We recommend viewing for this globe, and can provide further photographs if requested.
