CONDITION = Great vintage condition with no flaws or quirks to mention on the pin at all. The box shows it's age and has mars, marks, staining, etc. Included because I am sentimental like that and don't have the heart to throw it out or separate the two. It also carries the historical and makers information. Enamel intact and pin back in good working order. 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. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. 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.
