Condition: Very Good for age. There is a small chip on one side and small one in the front which is pictured. Mom put felt protection on the bottom to preserve it's condition. Please see all photos and ask any questions before bidding. I am describing this to the best of my ability. We are clearing out my late Mom's collections and this is such a cute little piece that she has had for many years. It's ready for it's new home!
