CONDITION = Acceptable vintage condition for a piece of this age - it is far from perfect, but perfectly fine..... The tiles appear to be all there and in good antique conditon - the book mentioned on the box is long gone, and I believe there should have been some round chips or disks that no longer remain. I am selling it as-is, as-found, and as-pictured. The box is in well-worn, pre-loved condition - with lots of discoloration, wear, etc as shown and has a rip or tear up the lower left corner - see last pic. Well worth preserving, restoring, harvesting, crafting, repurposing the dice and tiles, and/or displaying.
"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
