The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Overall in very good condition, with patina marks and wear consistent with age and use. The globe spinning freely on its axis, noting light chipping to varnish by equator. The rest of the globe with light chips to the varish, one very small region of loss to Norway. There are also small areas of staining near South Pole. The horizon ring as usual with chips and scratches and a few small holes. The undertier with split crack to one corner. Marks and scratches to the legs.
