This is the second one of these I will have sold and from my collection of about 500 tins. This one like most of my stuff is very clean, rust free and near mint, what ever that means. Although in the pics the colors look quite different on the panels, faded, or have had sun stroke, they have not and color is actuality mostly consistent throughout. The back panel is only minutely different. Photographed by window light. The only true flaw that I can see is on the front to your upper right where I believe an old tag was, which has left a residue of the adhesive. I have learned with too many tins to leave well enough alone. I didn't try to clean this or use lighter fluid which is usually kind to the graphic with a quick water wash immediately thereafter. That being said, it is sold "as is" and a suggested cleaning is up to the new owner. Other than that, old dust sits in the bottom of cradle although in the photo it looks absolutely clean, it is not and is slightly discolored. There is a minor spot here and there on the surface a few high edge places with there is green paint loss. Still overall I would grade this between VVG to near mint. No scratches, dents, and maybe only a hint here or there of high surface insignificant blooming rust. S+H $5.85 priority mail.
