Overall very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. Faint scattered surface scratches to the acrylic. Minor circular surface scratches related to normal use from opening and closing the shades. A minor chip to the edge of one shade, approximately 0.3 cm across. Minor oxidation to the circular chromed metal plates, one with a small rust spot approximately 1 cm in diameter with one or two small areas of the chrome beginning to bubble. Presents very well overall.
