Thank you for viewing. This is an authentic item I purchased at a department store as part of my collection. I displayed it on a shelf for one season without using it as an ornament. I remember each piece had a ribbon, but I think I removed them to display on the shelf. Also, as shown in photos 10, 11, and 12, there are some stains on the white parts of the red train. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Please note that due to the original hand-painting, there may be uneven coloring and scratches. This item is already discontinued, and the box is deteriorated, but I will reinforce it and ship it in this box. I can also take photos of any areas of concern, so please let me know. Please attach ribbons or similar when using it as an ornament. Please consider it as vintage. Thank you for your understanding regarding used items and home storage. villeroy&boch vintage rare
