* No cracks or chips in the glass.
* Nice patina on the wood.
* The back has never been removed. Shows some soiling; the gray is not mold/mildew--no smell at all.
* The moth has fallen off the display pin; it's probably under the white nametag--will let the new owner decide whether to remove the back and look for it.
