Condition
Appearing in overall good, stable, ready to place condition. With an even dark brown patina throughout. No apparent missing or broken elements. The pipe the bear holds in his hand is slightly loose, but this seems to be the result of its thin construction and does not appear to be at risk of detaching. Dust and debris to the recesses.
