This set comes from a collector's lot in which much of it was displayed assembled for an extended time. We have tried to replace any aging/discoloration, or note it if we couldn't. There remains a chance we've missed some and/or that these might be "less perfect" than other similarly aged sets. They are physically sound, have been mostly cleaned of dust and are great sets... just disclosing that these may not be not mint condition.
Most of the instructions for these are in excellent condition, having been well stored and flat.
