♛Condition

Overall great vintage shape, sturdy and unfaded. 70+ years old.

As with many of these, this one came to us with a few small holes. After expert repair, all are now invisible save the tiny one located by the shoulder, as shown in close-up photo -- very subtle. There are also 2-3 TINY shallow divots in the Angora portion near an underarm, mentioned for accuracy. 

Presents exactly like photos -- rather impeccably for older wool!
