Condition Report
Overall excellent, structurally sound, and stable condition.  The polychromed finish to the base presents very well and is free of any apparent losses.  The patinated copper shade is also in excellent condition and is free of any mis-shapings or losses.  All of the electrical elements appear in very good condition but have not been tested.
