Condition Report (Please Read Carefully Before Buying):
This item is in excellent vintage condition with no cracks, major dents, or structural breaks.
- Patina & Finish: The aged verdigris/green patina shows natural variation, light rubbing, and a few small spots of standard surface wear/tarnish consistent with age and gentle handling.
- Base Plate Fitting: The removable base fits and locks into place properly. Please note that as a vintage cast piece, the locking tabs fit natively but may require a gentle, careful twist to line up perfectly with the cast slot grooves.
- Cast Openings: The pierced network body is structurally sound. There are minor casting imperfections typical of traditional metal foundry work, which add to its unique vintage character.

Please review all the high-definition photographs carefully to confirm the exact cosmetic condition and details.
