Please be sure to view all photos carefully as they are included as part of the item description!I sell antique and vintage collectible stuff - unique items that have history, and may show signs of this - it\'s part of their charm. I try to describe any obvious faults as truthfully as I can. However, as most of my items are 100 years old, they will often bear the traces of a previous life. Please think carefully about offerding if you are looking for a pristine item that is as new. My passion is for beautiful antique stuff and quirky vintage items with a gently faded grandeur, so do consider this before deciding to offer.
