As close to mint as you'll find outside a museum.
I've been buying antique lighting components for fifteen years. This arrived exactly as described — no surprises, no euphemistic condition language. The bench test note sealed it for me.

I've been buying antique lighting components for fifteen years. This arrived exactly as described — no surprises, no euphemistic condition language. The bench test note sealed it for me.
Everything about this purchase felt intentional and honest — the listing copy, the packing, even the receipt. The piece itself is excellent. Will be back for more.
Very happy with the purchase overall. There's a small patch of surface oxidation on the back face that wasn't visible in the listing images. Not a deal-breaker at all, but I'd appreciate a note. Everything else is exactly right.
