Made in 1993. It was in a bag, but I opened it for the photos. 24 colored pencils, each 17.5cm long, are in a 18.4 x 20 x 1.1cm steel case. As far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be any significant damage, but since it's old, there might be damage that isn't visible from the outside (the bag has dirt, wrinkles, and other damage). To avoid any problems, I recommend that those who are at all concerned about the condition refrain from purchasing. The color of the actual item may differ from the images due to lighting conditions. Please be aware of this beforehand.
