Condition: The flue cover is in general good condition. It has bumps to the rim, a separation of the rime where the holes to attach the chain were made, minor chips to the glass at the spot to the right where the chain is attached to the rim, and some signs of minor oxidation to the rim (especially at the bottom), all of which can be seen in the photos. In addition, there is some minor writing in pencil on the cardboard back. Other than that it is intact and looks great. Please see photos for additional condition details.
