There are a few small chips in the varnish on the ferrules on the mid section. One of the tips has a slight set. Blonde cane with transparent honey colored wraps, dark cinnamon tipping at the winding check and tip-tops, burgundy tipping at the ferrules. Chocolate colored wraps over the ferrule tabs. Tips are differentiated by one and two dots. Oxidized guides and tip-tops. Ring hook-keeper. Mildly swelled butt.
