Description

Good overall condition for its age. There is some mild scratching to the exterior, and some very light chipping along the edges. Hinges are in good shape, and the clasps catch and work well.One side of the interior compartments shows heavy scratching to the original purple velvet, and the other side is missing the velvet completely.
