Condition:
Original vintage used condition with substantial wear. Most notably, the back has extensive paper/adhesive residue and surface loss, apparently from having previously been mounted or glued into an album/scrapbook. This obscures much of the original location information.
Additional condition issues include edge and corner wear, creases, scratches/scuffs, surface marks, staining/soiling and wear along the folds. The interior remains colorful and highly displayable, and the attached Frosted Orange promotional flap is still present. Please examine all photos carefully for the exact condition.
Original vintage item — not a reproduction. Sold as shown.
