Fair. Looks great. The label has dark stain, possibly smoke stain making the print hard to read. Residue staining. From just above the painted label a crack starts, this travels right down to the base edge where it hangs a lefty and travels along the base edge to the rear where it comes back up and curves across the mid body. A couple of short parts of this have a thin flake. Some grime and some scuffs and scratches. A large piece, this is part of the James A. Lerk collection. Grade: 4.5 Estimate: $50 - 75
