This item was purchased by my grandmother at an antique fair in the 1960s in New England. When she passed away my Uncle rented a dumpster with the intention of throwing out 6,000 sq ft of her stuff. Fortunately for me and you, I have a big problem with throwing away perfectly good items. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to save everything! This item was still in a plastic bag so I figured it was good.

Upon further inspection, the item is in good condition. No chips or cracks in the glass portion. Some wear to the long arms of the frame. You can see this in the photos. Otherwise, it just has an aged and unpolished patina. less
