Boxes are in worn state. Please see pictures. I'm in the process of listing my late father's train collection. They have been in storage since the late 60's, so they will need to be dusted. Not quite sure what to use on them so will leave that to experts. I will describe them as best as I can. They all have been opened before. Some in packaging some not. I do not know if they have been used before or just opened. Most of the boxes are old and show wear on them. I AM SELLING AS IS. My father always took great care of his things. He was really into trains when I was younger he even belonged to a Model Rail club. But as his family grew life took over and these were put into storage. I will try and answer any other questions you might have on any item. You can follow my store hugfamily under trains to see more of this collection. I list as I get time more will be added.
