Thank you for viewing from among many products! I have stored this in a dark place after purchasing it. There is some dirt on the pom-pom and the back of the head of the hat. I don't see any noticeable scratches or stains, but this is just my amateur observation, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. I am hesitant to part with it, so I have set the price a bit high. Please read my profile before purchasing.
