Condition: THE FIRST The overall condition is good though the side edges and top knob have some wear and there are some light spots on the front of the bag, one on each side. The interior suede is worn along the back but clean. THE SECOND The overall condition is good structurally though the bottom corners have some faint wear and the top Lucite frame has some faint striations. The leather lining has some faintly noticeable pink colored soiling and the side seams have residual adhesive starting to dry and flake off. THE THIRD The overall condition is good though the tops of both back side seams are starting to separate about 0.75" each and the front snap closure is inoperable with deep scratches around the peg. The front FF logo gold-tone plating is worn and the leather along the sides and bottom is worn and misshapen. THE FOURTH The overall condition is good with some minor wear on the base corners and light scratches and spots on the wood frame front and back. The top piece of wood along one end of the clasp has detached where it was originally glued though it appears to be fixable. Everything is sold 'As Is’. The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging.
