This item was manufactured in 1995. It is unused and in excellent condition, with no rust on the springs. I believe the condition is good, but this is my personal opinion. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned, as it has been stored in a regular household. The smiling face of the child shows some slight age-related discoloration. It's not very noticeable, but I've reduced the price slightly to reflect this, so please consider this when purchasing. Feel free to negotiate the price.
