The dream stone marble disc was covered in clear varnish and has darkened, reversing to same darkened shellac but has been filed to possibly remove the marble for inspection and left 1/2" band along the edge from 7 o'clock to 5 o'clock, long varnish brush lines running diagonally across most of marble. The hardwood base is a bit wobbly, has normal surface buildup, and could use professional cleaning, re-gluing, and polishing. The stand is sturdy, has a few normal surface spots scattered about, and surface dust buildup in crevices. Dreamstone marble disk, diameter: 10 1/8".
