The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

29¹⁄₂ in. (74.9 cm.) high overall, measured to the top of the handle

With a clean, complete well-maintained appearance, structurally sound and ready to use. With general overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. Minor areas of dirt and debris accumulation in recessed areas.

The handle reattached with modern screws, a short crack to the upper edge of the wood near one of the handle hinges.
