This item is rarely seen.
I kept it thinking I might use it someday, but since it seems unlikely I will, I am putting it up for sale.

There is some fading due to age and minor scratches, but in my personal opinion, it is in relatively good condition.

*Please understand that this is a used item, and those seeking a pristine condition like new should refrain from purchasing.

Thank you.
