I found this while cleaning out my grandmother's house. The instruction manual is dirty. There are some scratches on the gold painted parts. Other than that, it appears to be free of scratches to the untrained eye, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. We plan to list many folk crafts from famous tourist destinations! Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous or anxious, as this item has been stored at home for a long time. I have checked carefully, but I apologize if I have overlooked anything due to my amateur inspection. I will pack it in the original box with bubble wrap and ship it in a bag. Please read my profile (*´`*) Feel free to comment! I am decluttering, so I am also listing many children's clothes, women's clothes, apparel, and children's goods, so please take a look!
