Retaining a fairly even refinished surface throughout, though areas of inconsistent color exist throughout.  Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use.  Areas of lifting, age cracks and shrinkage gaps visible throughout.  One of the escutcheons was reset into new holes slightly off-center from the original placement. Few small veneer patches to each. One of the vertical slide rails is replaced, as is the square block holding it in place on the domed top.  This same box has slightly bowed sides and the top does not rest as cleanly on the case as the other example does. Some losses to the beaded edge on the lower rim of the top.  While there is a keyhole on each, there is no actual lock mechanism or clasp.  Some areas of veneer and inlay loss visible. The knop handle on the other example shows a 1/2" x 1" patch along the upper edge of the turning.
