Condition Report:
This item is in beautiful antique condition with an incredibly warm, rich patina. There are typical, minor signs of age-appropriate surface wear, minor scuffs, and tiny micro-dings as expected with genuine 100+ year old metalware. The main factory stamp is clearly legible, and the prominent eagle design remains sharp and highly detailed. (Please see all high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic condition). The base does have a minor uneven section but it doesn’t detract from the overall beauty. See photo. It is also missing a brass hinge pin so the cover is removable. Very simple to replace.
Shipping & Handling:
Will be packed with professional care using heavy-duty bubble wrap to ensure safe transit. Please feel free to message with any questions!
