THIS PHONE HAS A FEW SCUFF MARKS ON IT, ONE MAINLY ON THE HAND SET SHOWN IN PICTURES. PHONE IS A BRIGHT CHERRY RED, GREAT COLOR AND IN OVERALL GREAT CONDITION. I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS PHONE BUT I DID SEE IT TAKEN OFF THE WALL AT AN ESTATE SALE AND WAS TOLD THE OWNERS OF THE HOME STILL USED IT. DEFINITELY NO FADING OF THE COLOR ON THIS PHONE.
