Most merchandise at Gowie's Antiques and Collectibles are vintage or antique, meaning I cannot guarantee any item has been in a smoke-free or pet-free environment.
As such, odors are not uncommon in vintage or antique items, given manner of storage and/or exposure to various elements over the years. If an item has an odor worth mentioning, I will, but remember, sense of smell varies person to person, so understand one's opinion of odor is purely subjective. Thank you for your understanding!
