The shade is engineered with 4 reinforcement rods running from the top center to the sides supporting the deep border; condition of the shade is very good and in our opinion any condition notes to follow are expressed as “minor”… has a tight hairline in one large top panel, 2 large top panels have single line hairlines which have been reinforced with one line of lead-work on the obverse & reverse, a section measuring one third of the aperture ring has some extra solder to reinforce the top ring, shade is slightly out of round being indented slightly where the 4 ribs have held their place and the lower border has some typical heat cracks in the glass none of which we consider major or damaging to the shade.
