Great Gift Idea!

I. CONDITION

Good. Used. This is a vintage attic treasure. Has been loved and it has a history. 

• Item’s Background - Antique Collector's Estate Sale Item

• Working Condition – Excellent. This item is fully functional and performs as originally intended.  

• Cosmetic Condition – Used. Shows well. Virtually no unusual wear, rust, or corrosion. But it also has some of the usual expectable vintage aging, considering its relative time period. (See pics.) On the plus side it's air of nostalgia is pretty much all there to take in, display, and enjoy.

• Component Materials – Cast Iron mechanism and Weights, Brass Pan.

• Easily Restorable - To near-original condition for most competent hobbyists, though not entirely unnecessary.

• General Maintenance - This item's pan will eventually tarnish slightly. Every few years or so, I recommend a casual wipe-down using something like Tarn•X® or Turtle Wax Auto Finish Heavy Duty Wax Rubbing compound. 

(Note: When using Tarn•X, it is important to quench the de-tarnishing chemical reaction by wiping down the object with water and a dry towel within a few moments after application. Treated brass items will then stay bright and shiny-golden much longer by doing so.)
