Condition:GoodReplacements made: We are speculating that the felt would have had to have been replaced at some point long ago, considering the age of the piece. Additionally, there might be areas where small pieces of inlay were replaced. Wear consistent with age and use. Overall, this piece is in amazing condition with what would be considered very light wear for a piece this age. Please review all provided pictures for any surface wear or missing inlay, which would be minimal.
