Overall very good condition. Each side showing a slightly darker area in color in the center which extends the entire height of the screen approximately two inches wide. This is inherent in the design of the screen. The color of the screen is not as dark as it appears in the catalogue illustration. There a slight unevenness to the center area of the top edges, which appears intrinsic in the making and possibly exaggerated with the natural aging process. With some very slight fraying to the black painted cardboard edges of the screen, as expected. With surface dirt throughout. The bottommost cardboard layer adjacent to the metal feet has come slightly unglued, and the cardboard can be shifted. This can be easily restored and does not affect the overall screen.
