Condition Report

In overall good and stable condition. The paint, while likely not as old as the object, has a finish history that suggests it is rather early. An old age crack visible from the underside shows blue paint at the edge of the top, but it does not appear as you follow the crack towards the center. Old, hand-hammered nails visible in the top. Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. There are very faint traces of paint to the top that have been scrubbed off. Turned dowel hinge and locking dowel are likely early replacements. Dirt and discoloration in areas throughout. It does not appear to have ever had a seat on top of the open box, additionally, it is too narrow for a grown adult to use as a seat.
