The item is in very good condition. It has been paperbacked and restored. It was my grandmother's that was discovered in he...r house when she passed away 30 years ago. It was in a box and had been folded up and passed down to her from her family members. The colors were vibrant and the banner in very nice condition other than having been folded. I had it archivally paperbacked and the fold lines restored and have included closeups of that restoration. Feel free to email me any questions. Item is shipped well packaged and includes insurance.
