Condition Report
Sturdy and usable condition. The sides of the case faintly sun-faded. Several small veneer chips or small areas of lost veneer along the top of the case and the front edge of one of the front legs, as well as the sides of the back legs. One back leg is missing its sabot, the other back leg's sabot is detached but present. The top of the case (beneath the marble) has a broken indention in the plywood, probably from the corner of the marble top being dropped. It is not visible when the marble is in place. Marble top intact without damage; a few flake chips at front edge.
