Description

This piece is in wonderful shape, as you can see by the pictures (sorry they are a bit blurry) there are no dents or dings, there is minor scuffing on the bottom, the mirror is in perfect condition, there is even some rouge left in the center compartment along with the rouge puff. The lid has a crisp snap when closed and is very secure. In the research I have done I have seen similiar pieces listed at $150-$275. I am hoping someone can give me a more specific appraisal on this piece so that I may list it accordingly.
