"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, wear, and/or discoloration - as most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of all. It is actually to be expected and embraced as it is part of the unique character, rich history and individual story of each and every piece and, unless severe, isn't considered damage and is not mentioned. (Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos). Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to gauge for yourself by viewing them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
