Preowned in box. I have no way of knowing if this ornament has ever been hung over the years so stating it as preowned. The ornament itself may have a few surface age spots but overall, still very nice. The Boxes may have some shelf wear from storage and age. Boxes may have a little scotch tape on them to hold the tops and bottoms on. There also may be some writing or markings on the boxes. See all photos for the condition of this exact ornament.
