The top is a little faded but still retaining fair strength of colour, one or two old water ring marks and light scuffs, internally looks to be in very good order, a small cellotape mark on the sound board, no other faults noted. Stand is original but slightly loose at the joints. Serial number suggests a date of 1936-7. Keys look to be topped with ivory.
