The game is in fairly good used condition.  The sprung "cue" works well. There is some normal play wear with some minor scuffs and dings; nothing that affects play.

The face of the game is somewhat grubby. It may benefit from a careful clean but I have left it as I found it.

The pins are a bit rusty but all are fairly straight. 

At some point in the past someone has touched up the green paint in some places; see all the photos, and for example photo 18.

The board will sit flat on a table. To play the game an incline is required. I found the best / most skilful / most interesting game was made by placing a book about 3cm thick under the top left corner, as shown in the photos.  This creates an upward incline and slight slope from left to right.  Without the the slight sideways slope I found a large majority of balls end up as lost ball zeros. 

I believe the original balls were steel ball bearings; these have been lost and replaced with 11 dark green glass marbles about 1/2 inch or 13mm in diameter. They come in a small black velvet bag. They seem to be of the right kind of weight and size.

About 51cm / 20" long. about 30.cm / 12" wide. 

Altogether weighs about 930g.
