Good overall vintage condition with age-related wear. The mirror base shows significant spotting, discoloration and finish loss from age, along with a small crack near the top edge. The two figures that remain glued to the mirror sit over/near this area. Only two of the five skunks remain attached; the others have old glue residue on their bottoms. Connecting chain is missing. Mama remains in nice overall condition with her fur tuft intact. Please see photos for details.
