It has a few chips on the feet, few small chips in the carvings, couple of finish blemishes, an 8 inch crack in the back left board as seen, one extra block was added in the back for more top support.

I currently own a shop in West Warwick, R.I. where we sell just about anything that would come from an estate. I've been buying and selling full time for 12 years now and on ebay for little more than 10 years.
