Condition:
The cover is a little loose in situ and the cover is slightly raised from the base in places as some warping has occurred. Due to this a small piece of wood and silver has been placed on one hinge to try to counteract this issue, possible repair? Four silver dividers on the cover are raised in places(sprung), as is one on the front panel and one on the rear panel.
