Condition
Condition appears very good to excellent based on photos. Thread wrapping is intact and uniform on all ball forms with no visible unraveling, pilling, or discoloration. Gold-tone hardware and clip mechanisms show minimal wear with no significant loss of plating visible. Small floral cap details at ball terminals appear clean and intact. Clip-on backs function visually; wearability cannot be fully verified from photos alone. No major flaws detected, though minor age-appropriate patina on hardware is present. Please review all photos carefully before purchase.
