The weight is just about 5 oz. The completed carton will ship Priority insured at the 1 pound rate. THE CONDITION: Considering its age, the overall condition is excellent with a few minor quibbles. ●●●Please allow the photos to guide you as they are the lion’s share of this description.●●● This is what I see to describe: on the silver there are a few slight bends; there are a few very light scratches, scuffs and some polishing swirls; there is some table friction wear on the base edge. On the glass there are a couple of barely noticeable tiny marks. All very minor and described for complete accuracy. Otherwise I do not see anything of serious consequence to describe. ●●●I hope I have not missed anything. If I did, it was surely minor and 100% unintentional.●●● Just about 99% of the collectibles I offer are vintage/pre-owned and may show a small amount of handling.
