♛Condition

Very good vintage condition. Cleaned and bright. 60-70+ years old.

Noted: came to me with some rust speckles and dots on both shoulders (and one tiny one on high back) from an old metal hanger; after cleaning, much improved/faded, but not perfect. See photos. Still a treasure and a beauty.
