There is typical paint loss to base pole and planets, consistent with usage
Overall, this system is in great condition and seems well cared for
Composition seems to be Bakelite and cast iron base
The year forged in the cast iron base is hard to read, seems 1908 is the closest I can get. However, Bakelite was introduced in 1909. So, don’t take me on in.
This is most likely a model from the 1940s in great shape. Not many this clean around
