The left side of the box has an old age repeated split to the wood, some overall light surface wear and small patinated knocks as expected with age and use. The hinges and pin drawer release mechanism working well. The inside of the box in good antique condition with some signs of age and use however this does not detract from a smart box which is very usable and displays well.
