YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO EVER FIND ONE IN BETTER CONDITION.  NOT COUNTING THE FRINGE, MEASURES ROUGHLY 59" x 34".
I DO NOT HAVE THE GREATEST SENSE OF SMELL SO I DRAFTED MY WIFE AND SON TO GIVE IT A SNIFF.  MY SON SAID IT DOES NOT SMELL UNPLEASANT BUT DOES SMELL LIKE IT IS FROM THE 60s, MEANING THAT ONE CAN TELL THAT IT IS VINTAGE.
MY WIFE SAYS IT SMELLS LIKE HER GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE DID BACK-IN-THE DAY.   IT HAS BEEN STORED IN THE CEDAR CLOSET FOR DECADES BUT DOES NOT SMELL LIKE MOTH BALLS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.  LET'S JUST SUM IT UP AND SAY THAT IT SMELLS VINTAGE, BUT NOT IN AN UNPLEASANT NOR OVERPOWERING WAY.
EVEN IF YOU HAVE A TIME MACHINE IT WOULD BE A CHALLENGE TO FIND ONE IN BETTER SHAPE.  PETROLIANA, VINTAGE ADVERTISING.
