More Information

The inlays are heavily ingrained with dirt, minor chips on the confluence of three inlays above the word 'THE'. the border to the lid has been reglued at some point and now has a small gap and chip. The border of the base is very grubby through age and marking from the lid coming on and off but overall 7/10 on condition.
