This has been a respected, and looks like little used set. As far as I can see the tiles all look to be in good order. Have had a superficial wipe, but would benefit from a further clean. The box is a nice well made example, but is in need of some TLC, has some scratches here and there. When opened the box had a musty smell, the condition of the tiles and material fittings of the box are unaffected. Hopefully a weeks air in an airfreshened environment will do the trick and make it aroma free.I have posted numerous photographs - please have a look and judge for yourself as to condition and completeness - sold as per photos.
