Boxwood Side:

Nice shiny patina to the surface, tiny chip to a rim on the king, a few very minor surface scuffs and marks, a few natural flaws to the wood, some very gentle rubbing to the edges of the green baize. Otherwise excellent.

Ebony Side:

Small flaw to bottom of black pawn, otherwise excellent.

Box:

Excellent. Attractive figuring to the mahogany, a bit of rubbing to the baize interior, especially around the edges. No key.
