Condition Notes
Good to Fair condition. Visible peeling/cracking on the metallic leather shoulder straps and top edge piping. Canvas shows minor yellowing. Internal lining appears intact but may have light marks. Grade: Fair - Good.
Value Estimate
$40 - $85 USD. Resale value is impacted by the peeling on the metallic straps, which is a common flaw for this specific material era.
Care & Maintenance
Spot clean canvas with mild soap; avoid rubbing the screen-print. The metallic leather is prone to peeling and should be kept away from oils or harsh cleaners. Store in a dust bag to prevent further metallic oxidation.
