Condition
In good condition and free from any restoration. There is a fine network of cracks just visible to the lower left side of the cover around the words 'A Friend to' and typical fine cracks to the interior of the base but not of these are significant and the green exterior of the base remains particularly well. The mirror is cracked and the silvering slightly degraded.
