♥️ Condition ♥️

The box is in good condition. Minor surface marks/scratches as expected for age and wear. Texture a little rougher on the inside of the case. I am unsure of the maker signature (as pictured). I currently do not have the means or resources to research this myself in a timely manner. Items are gently cleaned to remove surface dirt. More intensive care/polishing is left to the preferences of the buyer.
