Condition

Overall great vintage shape. Cleaned and bright. 80+ years old.

The red-painted side zipper did have a bell pull, and this pull juuuust snapped off in my fingers, unfortunately. The side zipper itself still works with some coaxing up and down by pushing on the remainder of the pull. I have a vintage red metal replacement zipper on order which I'll include (or forward on) to new owner, just in case you'd like to swap it out and not deal with the pull nubbin issue.

The white cuffs have subtle pinkish dye drift on the edges, something I only noticed under scrutiny for this listing.
