People don't come
in boxes. Assembly's
not required. Batteries
were included.
What
they show up as
was put together
over time. Some screws
may be loose. Some finish
may be tarnished, but
they arrive generally
the same—
Self-
built from instructions
that don't look
too different from
the pages used
to construct
me.
