Condition

Overall great condition. The beading and the lining are in excellent condition. There are a few faint scratches in the Bakelite top. The original mirror was missing and has been replaced with a vintage mirror lined with ribbon. Some light tarnishing of the hardware consistent with age. Please see pictures. Presents beautifully!
