This is an item from several years ago, so there may be some fading or minor scratches. I haven't photographed any that are not very noticeable, but it is not a completely flawless, beautiful item. Due to the nature of the product, there were initial scratches as well. There is some rust on the back, but it's not very noticeable. Please refrain from purchasing if you do not understand that this is a used, vintage item.
