While I believe this item is likely unused, I'm listing it at a slightly lower grade because I don't have a clear memory of it. As it is a natural wooden craft, I don't see any scratches or chips, but there are some areas where the original wood grain has a bumpy texture that might appear to be imperfections. Would you like to use it daily? This item is from a personal collection, so there are no replacements available. Therefore, please bid with the understanding of the "no returns, no exchanges, no cancellations" policy. Thank you for your understanding.
