In working condition and with only some minor signs of wear and tear to the box and some minor tarnishing to the metalwork. Otherwise, it's in very good shape indeed.

Although it's seen better days - haven't we all - it has great appeal still, partly due to its illustrations which are quite Hipster in nature and partly because of the subject matter which should find favour with gyms, fitness fanatics, or athletes. We think it would look superb in the right context and with appropriate mounting and framing.

Because it was originally an insert in a book it bears significant signs of folding, and there are some age-related marks but most of the latter are outside of the main illustrations so when mounted would be less visible. There are a couple of minor tears, also outside of the main content but it doesn't feel fragile as a whole. Overall, there is some yellowing of the paper and other signs of wear and tear, but it probably wouldn't be so attractive without these signs of age.
