Physical Description

The puzzle has not been assembled but it is assumed that all of the pieces are extant. The description on the original box only notes that it contains over 300 pieces and does not inclue an exact piece count. The puzzle pieces are in excellent condition and don't show much surface dirt and little to no wear to the edges. The original box is in poor condition with several split corners, worn edges, and tape residue. There is also moderate staining, permanent marker and crayon, but the cover image itself is undamaged and unobscured.
