Terminology
The terms used to describe the condition of a vintage item are :
1. mint - the article no defects, preserving the original condition of the product. In this category there are included that have never been worn but also items that have been worn but have no traces and / or defects.
2.. Excellent - the article does not present any major defect , but it is visibe that it has been used
4. Very good - the article is perfectly wearable and can present minor flaws (stains on the inside, small structural defects).
5. Good - item is wearable but requires repair (missing buttons, small scratches, etc.).
6. . "As It Is" - when this label appears next to an item, it means that the article does not fit into any of the categories above, the item being offered for sale as such. Faults will be notified in advance to the customer. Generally, this label applies to articles previous to 1920's, their preservation being almost impossible in perfect condition.
Depending on the articles' age, labels regarding "state" may also vary.
Questions regarding the "condition": please keep in mind that most of the articles on the site are vintage pieces, being minimum of 20 years old. So 'perfect' does not mean "new ". In the rare cases where an item is new, this will be specified.

Funny facts
Both parts of the site's description and (in full!) The "Varia" chapter above appear (how strange!) plagiarized in the description of other sites (with vintage claims). I believe that an opinion on their authenticity and originality, in general, does not even have to be expressed since some people do not even have a precise idea of what they are theoretically passionate about.
