In fantastic condition, the ball shows some age and use. No major damage to the wood, but there are some small surface marks and patina from its 100+ years. The two engraved plaques are sterling, but are unmarked for purity (as is often the case with these trophy balls). The sterling plaques are also in fantastic condition, they have polished up beautifully without any damage or loss. The ball measures approximately 4.5 inches tall, 6.5 inches tall with stand.
