these are genuine tin metal, and might show minor bends here or there. it's all part of the authenticity and shouldn't be considered a defect. I joyfully collect these signs during my travels. some are brand new, some have lived in gardens and will look that way. I love cats and gardens and enjoy sharing themed items with others. my inventory grows daily! bundle and only pay for shipping on the first item ❤️ have a wonderful day, kiss your kitties, enjoy your plants 😻 Posh Ambassador II 25+ year online seller smoke free, pet friendly fast, careful shipper Buy with confidence!
