Condition
Overall very good condition. The black elements appear to have been repainted. The glass appears original with minor surface scratches and some areas where the adhesive is visible which hold the panels in place. The edges of the glass with a few minor chips and losses, the largest measuring ½ inch to the proper right side. The glass element is hinged to allow easy access to the display surface. The chromium-metal pulls with some wear. A rare design.
