Condition:
There is some occasional light staining to the Ivory on the ship. The sale is detached and has a chip to one corner and the mast is a little loose in its slot, quite grubby to surfaces and would benefit from a clean. The chain elements are knotted but should be fairly straightforward to sort out. Otherwise in good condition.
