PL ear partially missing, detached fragment and loss on front edge of slit. Large hole at center back of bell (head) [probably in area of thin mold wall/casting flaw) and smaller hole near it. Outer surface is compacted black, high points shiny. Green corrosion products in interstices and scattered small patches overall on exterior. Pale purplish-grey corrosion around small hole. Interior overall variegated green thin corrosion layer, some scattered bulkier products. Exterior looks cleaned. Detached fragment held in place with glue and clear plastic fill, but not properly aligned (overlapping the bell break on the inside).
