Description

This lovely piece has been in my immediate family since it was new. It still has the strong scent of cedar as it has not been opened very frequently. The green felt on the shelf is in great condition. It has four inlaid lighter vertical cedar stripes on the front and two long horizonal strips on the curved edge at the top and carved bottom. It has a couple of dings and scratches as it has been moved several times, but is in very good condition overall. It has all original parts and hardware including the Lane push-button lock on the front, but I have lost the key unfortunately. The wood grain and shine (original) on this particular 61-year old piece are extraordinarily beautiful.
