Comments/description: Non-OI version of this label. Simple, tasteful design is affected by what appears to be accretion of environmental material such as cooking oil, chemical fumes, varnish, or some other airborne material. The heaviest areas have yellowed considerably and have a thicker, smooth, shiny surface while the opposite side has virtually none at all and remains silver. It would be difficult to imagine an intentional application of clear coat applied with this distribution. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Condition
Aside from the buildup, there is some light oxidation and under-the-paint humidity.
Available payment options
