Edges may be softened, hair and clothing may not be fresh and new in appearance. Finishes may be thin in particular areas from handling. Worn condition should not show major damage, chips or scratches but may have wear from careful use. Worn condition is above Playworncondition which shows heavy wear and finish damage.
