The top has several scratches and a somewhat blistered/pitted finish, and there is a 'bloom' to the curved side of the case. There are some scratches to the lacquered finish of the iron frame. The wooden bearer underneath is stamped with the number 26973. The piano plays but requires tuning, and a couple of the keys get stuck in the down position.
