CONDITION:  Note that the multiple detailed images included in this listing are 100% of the item description.  The written description is anecdotal and it is as accurate as possible given that descriptions are subjective since this item is not new. As a patinated item, it shows the passing of time, resulting in variations that are impossible to describe accurately. Therefore, the images provide more information about the condition than the description does.  Please view all photos to determine the condition for yourself.  I have provided pictures of any issues I see.  Email me with any questions.  If there is a dollar bill in the image it is for size reference only and is not part of the auction.  You will not receive the dollar bill if you win the auction.
