Fair used condition, as you can see from the pictures the board is in need of some serious TLC. Its had a very very light clean as not to damage the piece but theres still plenty of grime (or patina) depending on how you view the piece. The finish mostly deteriorated and still continues to do so. There's two pieces of the covering that have fallen off the board (faux book bindings), these will be included with the sale for provenance and to perhaps help with any restoration or research. The backgammon board fairs a little better but that too is showing its age considerably. Its an old board, a great display piece perhaps or maybe even for restoration depending on how much of a challenge you'd like to take on. No gaming pieces included only the board.

Every order will be packaged with care and attention to ensure its safe delivery to you. Sometimes (when possible) i re-use certain packaging materials so long as they are still viable and clean. Not only does this save on costs which in turn enable me to offer competitive postage prices, but its also more friendly for the planet.
In the very unlikely event that there is a problem please contact me and i will ensure that any problems are rectified in a respectful and timely manner.
Combined Postage:
Where possible i will combine postage for multiple purchases (which is almost always possible unless the orders are exceptionally large and/or heavy). There are two ways to combine postage.
If you purchase multiple items and payment is made i will refund you the postage discount as soon as i possibly can.
OR you can withhold payment until i can send you an invoice with the total to pay minus the postage discount.
International Customers:
Most of my items are listed with eBay's Global Shipping Programme for simplicity. This enables me to ship efficiently to most parts of the world. Unfortunately postage cannot be combined for international customers.
