Condition:

1)Pinecone Candle Holder: Brand New Without Tags - Never used; Pointed Tips of 2 pinecone \'scales\' are missing (the heavy terracotta paint finish has chipped off the tips of the 2 scales - (the 2 tips can be touched up if preferred) - OtherwiseComplete -No damage -No cracks, etc.; exactly as it was when purchased; It is true 1983 vintage - so there could be one or two un-noticeable flecks of variations in hand-applied color shading, visible on close inspection, but none seen - and, if any, they would not be a flaw - just part of the hand-made variations and charm.

2)Box:Original box from 1983 - VERY SAD condition - appears battered but is actually disintegrating - it is simply falling apart/crumbling with age - biodegrading as intended. See photo #4; Regardless of poor condition, will gladly ship box with Pinecone if specifically requested - just send message or leave \'note to seller\' on payment page.Please see all photos in close-up - ask for more if needed
