CONDITION RATINGS
The following condition ratings are used to qualify and describe items in a general manner.  In addition,  most items are described with remarks in respect to percent of original finish (including re-paints); pitting; chips; breaks; repairs, owner's marks; missing, replaced and/or non-vintage parts, etc.  My perception of condition is conservative and hopefully you will be pleased with receiving an item that will be better than your expectations.
N (NEW & UNUSED) Never been used. May or may not have original box and/or packaging.  **I prefer not to use the term "mint" in describing tools - a word more suitable in discussions of coins and stamps**.
LN (LIKE NEW) Little or no use.  May have had "shelf" wear or tarnish from improper storage.
EXC++-LN (EXCELLENT++-LIKE NEW) Very light use.  Retains most of the original finish.  All parts vintage correct and functional, complete.
