Good vintage condition, showing surface wear commensurate with use over time. Wooden table top elements exhibit scattered stains, small shallow indentations, minor grain separations and small repair to edge. Wooden 'rudder' leg shows some scattered scratches and a couple tiny points of impact. Zinc-plated steel legs show moderate oxidation and scattered pitting.
