Condition: This
is in very good condition. It has been stored in a barn since the
1940s. It has never been used, but has some light shelf wear from age.
It is very well made.
The metal: is
nice and shiny. There are a few light surface scratches here and there,
and some tiny specks of surface finish loss revealing what looks like
brass underneath. There are no major dings/ dents. If you look very
closely, there is one area on the side edge (if the STIMSONITE stamp is
at 12 o'clock on the reflector, at about 1 o'clock on the very outer
edge of the metal part of the cap), there is one area that is slightly
flattened. There is no noticeable ding / dent, you have to be looking
closely to see this, but we want you to know.
The reflector: looks
very good. The glass looks excellent, and has no cracks or breaks. The
color is bright and the STIMSONITE stamp is crisp. The surface feels
very smooth.
The back: looks very good and the two clamps on the back look solid.
