Overall good condition with scattered scuffs, scratches, nicks, shrinkage cracks, indentations, and separation at joints commensurate with age. Scratches more prominent to top surface and some scratching and minor soiling to leather. One 2" long scratch to the bottom left of right side. One deep 2.5" long scratch/loss to wood, possibly inherent in the original construction. The catch-all tray with minor soiling, staining, and scuffing from use. The file cabinet is missing the two pieces that would have set in to support hanging file folders. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
