This bracelet is in good vintage condition, but will exhibit the expected surface scratches and probably a few dings from normal wear. No large dents or other notable damage. The box clasp works as designed and holds securely. Hand polished, but it may need further attention before wear, as there are lots of hard to reach areas and it was very tarnished to begin with. This is a handmade item which will not be machine-perfect in any way.
