I found this while cleaning out my grandmother's house. The instruction manual is dirty. There are some scratches on the gold-painted parts. Other than that, it appears to be free of scratches to the untrained eye, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I plan to list many folk crafts from famous tourist destinations! Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous or anxious, as this item has been stored at home for a long time. I have checked carefully, but I apologize if I have overlooked anything due to my amateur inspection. I will pack it in the original box with bubble wrap and ship it in a bag. Please read my profile (*´`*) Feel free to comment! I am decluttering, so I am also listing many children's clothes, women's clothes, apparel, and children's goods, so please take a look!
