Cosmetic condition is very good throughout. The cabinet is original, with no touch-ups to the paint on the relief depiction of Charlie, just some light wear to the highest points of Charlie's face -- nothing that detracts from the radio's appeal. There's a small, very fine scratch (or possibly a hairline) in the corner to the left of Charlie's elbow. I've posted a close-up (last photo) that you can enlarge in order to see its extent. It is barely visible, and if I were not pointing it out to you here, you would likely never notice it. The radio powers up and the dial light comes on, but it does not tune stations. All I get is hum when I turn it on, which gets louder as I rotate the volume knob. If you wish to make the radio operational, you will need to have a qualified tech. go through it first and make electrical updates to the circuit where necessary.Measures approximately 7" wide by 5 1/2" high x 5 1/2" deep. Shipping weight, properly packed, will be approximately 9 lb.I'm one of ebay's best known, most highly regarded sellers of antique radios. I've been selling and packing/shipping them for more than 25 years. When you purchase an antique radio from me, you can rest assured that your purchase will arrive safely because it's been carefully packed (by me, not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn't know a phonograph from a farm tool), Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrives broken, and without any hint of how you might be able to put it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
