This shifter was constructed of bronze and plated with chrome. This one has earned a lovely patina over it's 85 or so years on earth, and much of the bronze is on display. The cool thing about plated bronze components is they all age differently. This one has aged better than most! Many of them get kind of yellow-ish, others go nearly black.  This one has a pure bronze to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent used shape with a gorgeous patina.
