The overall condition is very good structurally though there are some dark yellow spots on the front stitched CC logo, the back slip pocket facing near the opening, and several smaller spots in the seams along the opening. There are several indentations throughout the exterior along the handle attachments, along the base and front and back bottom areas.

Everything is sold 'As Is’. The stated overall condition of the lot is based on the assumption that the wear is consistent with age and use. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. All other condition issues are stated above. To request additional working condition photos, please email couturecr@hindmanauctions.com with the lot number.
