Condition report: 

Overall some scuffs, dents and marks to the top, commensurate with use and age, together with rubbed areas.

Some lighter patches of timber to the central leaf, and in contrast to the darker leaves.  Overall the top has been polished. 

Various shrinkage cracks, notably to the central section  with a shrinkage crack (see photographs wwwbellmans.co.uk) running across the length at a slight angle. 

Draw leaf also with a opening straight crack, probably where two planks join. The other leaf also with a shrinkage crack and opening up of two plank joins (see additional images). 

The base with wear, small chips, scuffs and marks commensurate with age and use, including some small chips and losses to the bun feet, as to be expected. One foot possibly with evidence of old minor worm damage and repair (see extra image). 

Mild dew or some thing similar to the supporting rails to the underside with some evidence of  minor worm holes (see photograph)
