♛Condition

Very good vintage shape, presents well. 75+ years old.

Some subtle imperfections and signs of its age when gone over closely, factored in price. Edge of one sleeve has some minor fade. Three tiny-tiny darns; see close-up for an idea how small/hard to see. A few scattered pinholes revealed when held to light. Feels strong and has life + beauty left!
