Condition Report:
Original unrestored conditionwith a wonderful rustic vintage character. As is typical for 79-year-old pot metal chrome, the surface exhibits widespread pitting, micro-cracking, and moderate bubbling from decades of exposure to the elements. The metal body itself is completely solid and structurally sound with no broken fins or missing chunks. The piece can be mounted exactly as it sits for an authentic "patina" look, or it serves as an excellent solid core candidate to be sent out for professional stripping and re-chroming.Please review all high-resolution photos carefully to assess the exact chrome pitting and surface details before purchasing.Final sale No Returns
