Condition (used): generally good/very good for age in fair/good box (see below) - the set seems to be complete apart from the cardboard pinboard and clearly two of the pens are unoriginal and two of the wheels are yellow plastic suggesting they have been replaced from different sets, the pin box has ten pins, the box is a little worn with some minor edge/corner wear, general light wear/grubbiness, some minor compression/crumpling, some ballpoint scribbles to the inside of the lid, and minor tape residue/damage, the booklet is very slightly worn, the pens are dry, otherwise the contents are generally very good with very minor marks commensurate with age and use.
