We have been collecting antique tap bells for many years, and this is not at all a unusual condition found with many antique tap bells in our experience.

In our view, this condition simply adds to this antique's character and charm. The surfaces of this antique tap bell exhibit age and natural patina. There is natural and age appropriate very tiny and very minute micro chips to the marble base, as is shown within the photographs. There is natural and age appropriate micro wear to the very bottom of the marble base of this tap bell.

Please review the photographs for your own condition assessment. This antique tap bell is very solid and sturdy. And the tap bell plunger, and all of the tap bell mechanical functions, operate very normally and perfectly fine.
