Condition
Overall very good condition. The original green glass top has four small chips and areas of loss, all along the outer border of the underside, with the largest one approximately the size of a nickel. Otherwise, the glass shows normal wear with a few minor abrasions and scratches. The original lucite and brass legs are in superb shape showing only minor surface dirt. The four chromium plated metal disc connectors and screws are all original. The legs and connectors come with a museum quality traveling case that was built for the Toledo Museum exhibition.
