Condition is consistent with age and use. One of the back legs of the crawfish broke at some point and was glued back together. It seems like one of the pieces may still be missing. Some areas of residue present on bottom of leaf and could use a slight cleaning. Handsome example. ____________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
