was once painted with a gray color since the owner had it in their yard on display, since then the paint is chipping off alittle at a time showing the true bronze color of the binnacle
inside is discolored with rust and green color
back hactch which seems at one time to close will not shut all the way -- alittle broken-- bent perhaps
no light is in the binnacle
still connects to the base but is alittle tricky and hard to screw on
still has a chain on it
still has two handles intact and working fine
