This item has been stored for a long time and was subject to a 5% consumption tax, so it was likely purchased new by me between 1997 and 2013. As there are no signs of heat damage on the bottom, I believe it is a new, unused item. However, if you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. Thank you.
