[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 2889285, member: 5066"]FINALLY! Geez, one would think a condition report, as subjective as they are would be mandatory on any 5 figure objects yet auctions are getting very skittish lately for some reason. Maybe lawyers have intimidated them. In any event, here it is. CONDITION: "Chest is poplar, mend to lower left corner of right drawer, top paint very worn, all top edges worn, with discoloration and old scratches. Right side front lid molding with 4 3/8 in. replaced segment, with corresponding and longer 14 1/4 in. replaced segment to cleat below, which is painted a dark green, age cracks to facade both side, horizontal crack to left front bracket foot. Wear to feet and moldings." They sent along a lot of new photos of chest interior & till, I was very interested in the till lid.
