This set is one of the cleanest I have ever seen! The box is almost mint. Most seen have chips, stains and damage. The parts are in excellent condition and the original pale blue stringing card was present. These are missing when box is normally found. Note these later sets have the mazac lamp base as opposed to the earlier wood ones. Lamp shades seem to have gotten lighter too! See the comparison gallery that documents the differences between an early set(1934) and this later set(1936).
