Condition: Thecaddy is in very good used condition with only a few minor signs of edge,corner and surface wear. There is a slight separation of one of the laminatedjoints (shown in photograph) that does not distract from how well this setdisplays. The chips themselves are in very good condition with some variationin tone and patina. These clay chips are susceptible to edge dings and I expectthere are a few, but they are generally in great shape. The vintage cardboardbox is solid with only edge and corner wear; and some paper loss on top. The innerchip tray portion of the box is equally solid with intact corners and edges.
