This item is in good vintage condition. This item was manufactured in 1966 as has seen a substantial amount of use.
Under oblique lighting, may tiny dents/divets are visible on the surface of the pencil holder. One can also feel them very distinctly as you run your fingers around the perimeter of the cup. Upon closer examination, one can see that the color on the top portion of the item is slightly lighter and less vibrant than it is on the sides and toward the base.
There is also a tiny divet where the cup meets the base on one side, likely from where someone tried to pry the bottom of the pencil holder off (Pictures 10-12). The macro photography makes this anomaly appear much larger than it is.For reference, the base can be removed by inserting a pencil into one of the openings on top and lightly tapping. When removed, the base shows ink residue from pens/markers that have been inserted over the years.
Attribution marks are impressed on the base. Odello Dedalino" and "design Emma Gismondi Schweinberger. This item would certailnly brighten the desk in any office with a mid-century or atomic aesthetic.Terms like "excellent" and "near mint" are subjective, meaning widely different things to different people. And it can be difficult to agree on when "wear and tear consistent with age" has ventured into the territory of actual damage. All I ask in return is that you document any damage, retain all packing materials, and assist me during the claims process. My goal is to find happy homes for these treasures, with the hope that they will bring their new owners as much joy as they've brought me. Finally, don't be afraid to ask questions.
I'd rather be deluged with questions than to have my buyers experience one drop of regret with any item that I sell. _gsrx_vers_1516 GS 9.3 (1516).
