Condition Report
The bird displays general wear and surface marks and scratches and there is also some tarnishing. There is some wear to the feather decoration and also to the tip of the beak, etc., but otherwise the overall condition appears to be good. The hinge is in good working order although there is a slight gap when it is closed. Marks are rubbed but still legible.
