1) Good. Some of the lid and bottom labels have flaked off and the edges are beginning to fray a little. The seal has been broken and parts of the seal are absent. The box itself has some faded, illegible period hand writing on one side and there are some stains and minor wear. The box is wrapped in cellophane to protect it. 2) Excellent overall. The frame has a small gap at each corner and the print itself shows a couple of very minor creases.
