Vintage Condition Report:
This bag is in lovely, sturdy vintage condition for its age. The exterior crocodile skin remains incredibly glossy with beautiful structural integrity. The brass hardware shows a gorgeous, authentic age-related patina and light surface scratches. The interior leather lining is clean and intact; the inner crocodile-trimmed pocket flap shows some minor surface drying/cracking consistent with age, but remains fully functional. Please review all photos closely.
