Condition

Overall in excellent original condition. The top surface of the seat with two minor areas of discoloration which appear to be white and black house paint. With some very slight wear to the fiberglass to the immediate edge of the seat. The gliders with some wear and losses to the finish consistent with age and use. The metal elements with some minor oxidation and surface dirt. An excellent example of this iconic form.
