Condition
In overall very good condition. The surface exhibits normal, minor mars, shrinkage and wear. The case is sturdy and functional. There is a very small amount of side-to-side movement in the base, and no fore-aft movement. There are three old, cracked panes of glass. Two panes appear to be replaced and possibly a third. There is a detached piece of mullion, about 2-1/2" long, that is present and needs to be reattached. Shelves appear original. Finials may be replaced.
