CONDITION
Excellent pre-owned condition and appears to have seen very little use or display. It retains a particularly clean and clear appearance, with only minimal signs of handling.
There may be tiny marks, bubbles or natural imperfections within the acrylic and around the encapsulated oil sample as a result of its manufacture. Any small particles, colour variations or separation within the sample are part of its natural appearance.
The paperweight presents extremely well and looks close to new. Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description and show the exact item you will receive.
Every paperweight offered, whether supplied with its original presentation box or not, will be placed inside a clear protective polythene bag, followed by a clear bubble-wrap bag. It will then be packed in a new die-cut cardboard box, which may also be retained for safe storage of the item. This box will be placed inside additional protective outer packaging for secure posting.
