Condition Notes

• Overall Condition: Good vintage condition with all structural boundaries tightly intact.
• Metal Base & Interior: The base shows the crisp maker stamping. The metal surfaces retain an authentic uncleaned natural vintage patina, tarnish, and wear markings validating its genuine mid-century age.
• Shell Inlay: The iridescent abalone tiles are structurally secure. Note any minor natural hairline variations or tiny edge nicks typical of hand-cut organic shell material. Please inspect all high-resolution listing photos closely to confirm the exact physical condition before purchasing.
