NB The hinges were very battered when the box came to us so there is repair on one of them, please 'zoom in' to see. The lid has a fine hairline rift, this has been stabilised and actually hardly shows and boxes of this age do have some 'bumps and bruises'! This is reflected in the price it would normally be around £160-70
