original condition
As first made
Original condition describes the state something was in when first made, sold, or acquired—before wear, modification, or damage.
The phrase appears often in collecting, antiques, and resale contexts, where unaltered items command higher value: The car is in original condition with matching numbers, The book jacket shows some wear but the pages are in original condition.
Restoration may return something to working order without returning it to original condition.
