Condition

Overall very good condition. The frame with minor chips and losses to paint and scratches. Possible minor areas of repainting of the green frame. The chromium-plated metal of the frame in very good condition with some scratches, nicks and rubbing. The halyard seat is in excellent condition with only minor surface staining. The upholstered head cushion and webbing with serious staining, more concentrated to one side, soiling from use. The lambs wool is in good condition with minor soiling. Overall a very good example of this iconic design.
