Condition
Antique condition with substantial age and use wear. Notable loss, lifting and separation of the embossed metal cladding at the upper left front corner and lid edge, exposing underlying material and oxidation. Additional dents, surface losses, scratches, oxidation and finish wear throughout. Interior shows considerable age related wear. Sold as found and restoration may be desired.
I would photograph that damaged corner prominently. It is significant enough that it should be disclosed directly rather than described only as general wear.
