Overall good vintage condition, there's some dirty and residue in the folds that I didn't go crazy cleaning because some people like items broken in. Has the occasional scratch, scuff, one pin size chip (pictured) the face is pretty clean. If you want it pristine, it could use a detailed cleaning but looks fantastic now. The backsides shows wear and the detailed sticker on the back is mostly removed but the middle is there and the information that was there is included above. Ready to hang or display.
please keep in mind when buying any of our items that vintage means they’ve lived long lives before finding their way to you and are preloved unless otherwise specified. signs of wear, use and age are to be expected and add to the character of the piece.
we do our best to accurately and honestly describe all of our items and will always point out major flaws like cracks, chips, missing pieces, abnormal wear, etc.
photos are the most crucial part of an item’s description. be sure to look at all photos and please zoom in. we are happy to send along more, just ask!
