Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The chalkboard is in two parts and adjoins on the reverse. The tchotchkes are separate elements and rest on the chalkboard ledge but are not attached. There is light wear and surface scratches and various losses to the tchotchkes due to the nature of the found medium. The cigarettes are intact but fragile.
