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 wood with some signs of shrinkage throughout.
The front paws and lower proper-right paw each with a restored break.
