OVERALL CONDITION |
generally very good with some slight bumps. Spot of surface solder near the hinge to underside of lid that could be original or possible repair, although nothing obvious. |
MINOR FAULTS |
oddly scratched surface to underside of lid. I suspect that this has been caused by a tool used to correct some bumps in the past. |
