Thanks for looking!

Very Nice!!! Great price.

Has a section of the base molding been replaced on the crank side? Is that a step in the molding, about ⅜" from the top?

Nothing structural was done.
I'll add photos of this area and the bottom too.

Thanks for your question,
James.

Eagle eye, Jerry!

Here are the extra images to illustrate the answer.
The bottom shows the moulding being made of stock that was joined.
The area you've questioned is the way the moulding was milled.
Thanks,
James.

Thanks James! That all makes perfect sense now.
