I am retired.  I have lots of old stuff in my house.  The items I sell now came from estate sales, auctions, garage sales, flea markets and my own collection purchased many years ago.  ACCORDINGLY, most of my items are either antique or vintage and have been used (unless otherwise noted) and will have normal marks from use, i.e. scratches, rub marks, etc. They may not look new out of the package. I cannot describe every little thing. I will though, describe large or major imperfections that are not a part of normal use.
There may be slight differences in the colors of the listed item
due to monitor settings, camera settings, etc...
