Condition
Condition: THE FIRST The overall condition is very good with the following: Structural Issues: There is a small split in one of the back left interior boning casings. Fading/Color Change: There is some overall darkening due to age, but not structural. THE SECOND The overall condition is good structurally with the following: Fading/Color Change: The corset has darkened consistent with normal wear and age. Soiling/Spots: There is moderate soiling on both the interior and exterior, mostly along the front closure and lower back. Corrosion/Tarnish: The spots on the front are likely due to rusting of the metal stays attached to the closure. THE THIRD The overall condition is very good structurally with the following: Soiling/Spots: There are dark brown spots on the interior between boning casings. Corrosion/Tarnish: The spots are likely due to the metal boning. Everything is sold 'As Is'.
