"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, wear, and/or discoloration. Most older pieces by nature normally are "Perfectly Imperfect" and have some degree of all - and unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned (especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos). These characteristics lend to the authenticity, look, charm, story, and are part of the unique history of each and every piece. People 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 and gauge for yourself, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
