Selling Guide

Selling Tips
Due to the crack, this item has lost most of its collector value. It is best sold as a decorative prop or for someone looking to paint/repurpose it. Clean the brown stains with mild soap first to see if they lift. Use keywords like 'Grandmillennial,' 'French Country,' and 'Tuscany Decor.'
