This placemat was purchased when I was 7 on my last vacation with my Dad before he passed. To commemorate things my Mom had several items put in a shadowbox. So since July of 1991 this placemat was in a shadowbox untouched until I just removed it for the first time! No damage no light discoloration. The liquid inside of course isn't there but you can absolutely refresh it. These are incredibly rare! It's time is moves on to a collector or someone who wants to gift it to someone they know. ♥️
