Condition Report
Tin Lithography: Graphics remain bright and exceptionally bold. The red, yellow, and blue pigments show standard vintage aging with light surface scuffing, minor play-wear scratches, and tiny spots of oxidation along the raised outer perimeter rim.
Structural Integrity: The metal round top and bottom have been separated with metal tabs.  Should reassemble easily.  The frame is remarkably flat and rigid without major warping, deep structural dents, or crushed corners. The rotating center mechanism moves and seats properly onto the retaining tabs.
Playing Pieces: The included glass marbles are intact without significant fractures, structural cracks, or large cleaving chips.
