Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

The item bears the usual minor knocks and scuffs overall consistent with age and use.

It has possibly been repolished at some point, but does not seem 'overly done'.

Brushing slide has a later green baize liner. 

Traces of old worming to the back.

Old closed splits within the timber grain.

Basically good shape overall.
