This item is a used, as-is product. I believe it was purchased over 20 years ago. It's one of the items my father collected as a hobby. I don't think it was used, but the box has deteriorated considerably. It has been stored at home. I haven't examined it in detail, so I'm offering it as-is. Please refrain from returns or price reductions after purchase, except in cases of defects that prevent the item from fulfilling its intended purpose. *Please be aware if you are sensitive to such things. Thank you for looking.
