CONDITION REPORT:

Excellent vintage condition! The heavy cast-metal donkey retains its original aged patina. The gear detailing is exceptionally crisp—highly desirable because the tiny shovel, canteen, coiled rope, saddlebags, and frying pan are all 100% intact and unbroken. The genuine stone base displays beautiful natural cream and amber banding with no major chips or cracks. The original bottom felt padding is absent, showing the authentic raw stone underside and secure dual-bolt assembly. (Please see all photos for exact condition details).

A stellar addition to any Western Americana collection, mining history display, or mid-century office/den decor.
