Please review all photos as they are an important part of the description.   You can use the magnification tool for details.
Every effort is made to accurately describe the items I sell and to provide photos showing the condition of the items.  Items sold as used, collectible or antique cannot always be expected to be in mint/perfect condition.  The condition stated is my personal opinion.  I will never intentionally misrepresent an item, but I cannot be an expert on everything I sell.  However, I am a collector of many things and try to be honest and exact in my descriptions.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
