Condition Report
They both retain remains of their original green paint with red undercoat, some patina and rust spots around the base in places. One has a small hole in the cast by the curve of the tail, we are not sure whether this was part of the casting or has occurred afterwards. Their are no major cracks or losses anywhere else worth noting, they have both been given a coat of exterior lacquer to preserve their magnificent patina.
As with all of our products this product is an original piece and has lived a life before it arrived at Otto's HQ. It has been sympathetically restored by the Otto's team to ensure it has a life for many more years to come. All of our products will show signs of patina and cosmetic wear, this we believe is what gives our products their unique charm. If you have any further questions regarding the condition of this product or any others please don't hesitate to contact us and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
