CONDITION REPORT: The mechanism works perfectly and smoothly. The translucent ruby red dice have honestly rounded corners, the result of decades doodling around on the sheepskins, but they are not chipped or otherwise damaged. While a little spotty here and there, the plating on the stand remains in remarkable condition. The cage “bars” show some surface rust – but certainly nothing heartbreaking. It has a striking presence. At the waist of the chuck, you will see a fitting put there to protect the dice as they drop through. I think is leather. It may be something else, but anyway, the finish on it is crackly, just as one would expect. One of the drumheads has a slit, almost invisible since it is out at the very edge. I hadn’t even noticed it until I took the pictures for this listing. Nothing is missing or broken.
