Condition
The RB B&B electric sign has scratches, a few tiny dings, surface buildup, general wear, and electric parts in interior have surface dust buildup, some surface rust spots, and has not been tested to see if it functions. The Motorola portable AM radio is in good condition and has discolored areas from age and environment, oxidized spots on metal parts, normal surface wear, buildup, electric cord is stiff from aging, and radio has not been tested for working order. The tin box of Duro decals has obvious surface rust, dings, marks, scratches, and buildup. The interior water soak decals are individually wrapped and are not opened so are possibly still usable. Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder. Statements by Simpson Galleries regarding the condition of objects are for guidance only and should not be relied upon as statements of fact and do not constitute a representation, warranty, or assumption of liability by Simpson Galleries. All lots offered are sold "AS IS."
