CONDITION REPORT:
• Filigree Box: Excellent vintage condition. The delicate plastic lace work is intact with no missing pieces. The rear metal hinge is stiff, strong, and handles the weight of the lid well.
The top lid rests with a small, uniform gap along the front edge rather than sitting completely flush (a common occurrence with 70-year-old molded plastic that has been carefully stored open or unused).
The maker\'s marks on the bottom are clear and crisp. The interior fabric pad is remarkably clean for its age with no deep stains.
• Cardboard Outer Box:
Very good structural condition. The black typography is incredibly crisp and legible. Shows minor, age-appropriate edge wear, light corner scuffs, and faint surface storage dusting as expected for a 70-year-old paper item.
Please review all high-resolution photos closely to verify the exceptional condition of this rare, complete collector piece. The item pictured is the exact item you will receive.
- Filigree Box: Excellent vintage condition.
