The Neon flashing bulb appears to be undamaged.
The red "beehive" style Fresnel glass globe has no chips or cracks.
The battery compartment is clean with no signs of battery corrosion.
The paint is starting to flake off. There is also some very minor surface corrosion present.Unfortunately the prices of shipping supplies and USPS shipping costs have become ridiculous!
