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 very good condition with light surface scratches and minor wear commensurate with age and use. The brass with minor abrasions and scattered areas of light oxidation typical with aging of this material. The wood with a few minor nicks and abrasions and some scattered minor areas of discoloration. The marble base with minor abrasions and nicks. One chip along the outer edge of the base (³⁄₄ x ³⁄₈ in.), not visually distracting. Presents well and ready for display.
