Condition Report
The lamp displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier patches of tarnishing to some areas, also some heavier contact marks and slight dints. However the overall condition appears fairly good as all hinged and moving sections appear in good working order. Part hallmarks to various parts. Some of the hallmarks appear rubbed and partly worn but all are still legible. Also with impressed retailer's mark 'Emanuel 27 Old Bond St.'
