The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The foxes would have initially had glowing eyes. However upon testing, 3/4 eyes did not light, likely burned out bulbs. A D cell battery is included in the fox with 1 working eye. However Christie's does not guarantee the working condition of lighting elements. The two foxes currently lack any way of affixing to epaulets.
