Previously owned, but in good to very good shape overall. It has some wear-related scuffs, scratches general wear, but nothing out of the ordinary for a piece of hand-made jewelry of its presumed age (best guess is somewhere in the 40-50 years old). The brooch has some patina, with some tarnish still present even after I gave it a light polish. But it appears to be 100% functional; the clasp closes and locks the stick pin in place securely and the faux-turquoise stone appears to be securely attached .
The cabochon stone is either real turquoise or faux turquoise - I don't have the training or expertise to offer anything more accurate than a guess on which it is. A licensed jeweler or gemologist (or even a geologist) would likely be able to tell quite easily, but I will leave that determination to the experts.
