CONDITION: Rough condition on many of the 150 year old plus plates. There are chips, cracks and discolorations on these one-of-a-kind antique items which are unique in both their character and weathering which represents their historical significance. While we do our best to extensively check each item prior to listing it, there could be a small issue such as a barely noticeable stain, a loose thread, wrinkled areas or a worn area of the garment. We hope that we capture these through photographs but that is not always the case. We also wash all clothing whenever possible.
