CONDITION = Good vintage condition - given the design, collectibility and rarity. There is an inside flaw to the bracelet close to the edge. It very well may be an original quirk or flaw as if you look close it looks as if there are carving tool marks from the creation or making of the bangle. It does show through a bit in the right light - but is just part of the charm and history and the piece. See last photos. 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.
