CONDITION = Great vintage condition - the pin appears to be in unworn conditon as far as I can tell. The card shows a bit of wear from storage and age - there is a horizontal crease that is mostly hidden when the butterfly is attached. Someone has stamped an upside down hungry pig on the card by the AW crown logo - it's kind of cute if you ask me! Hardware is all in good working order. A rare find in an excellent state of preservation
"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.
