Condition
Ready-made metronome with a black-and-white photograph in its original presentation box, all the elements appear to be stable. There are some nicks to the surface of the metronome, in particular to the lower left side and the back, and to the left of the front consistent with age and handling. The label on the reverse of the metronome is slightly loose. There are some scuffs to the photographic element, primarily to the upper edge. This work is in overall good condition.
