Interior Stain: There is a large, dark ring of oil/sweatband staining on the interior cardboard bottom floor of the box (clearly shown in photos). This is a natural transfer of hat oils from decades of storage but is purely aesthetic and does not impact structural integrity.  2. Exterior Wear: The outer paper wrap shows expected vintage edge scuffing, minor paper loss/peeling along the rim of the lid, and small surface abrasions.  3. Structure: The box remains sturdy, holds its octagonal shape perfectly, and the interior neck form is fully intact to protect your hats.  Please review all provided high-resolution photographs verbatim to assess the exact cosmetic condition before purchasing. Sold as-is.
