CONDITION = Great vintage condition - the stick pin portion exhibits a small amount of tarnish or rust that should clean up nicely with some emory cloth or even polish, if you feel the need. The small moving pin itself may not be sterling silver. It has a rougher feel due to the tarnish or patina, but is in good working order. Enamel is in fantastic shape. 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.
