Base shows rubbing, especially along the edges along with old inventory label. Lacquered surface shows scuffing, rubbing to edges of box lid. MOP inlay is intact, luminous and securely set. Inside: Spring loaded catch is intact, original silk pad is intact albeit a bit faded from age with the opposing side showing paper loss. I am happy to answer any questions you may have prior to purchase or to send more photos if needed. less
