Condition Report:
Generally in good condition with wear consistent with age and use. One loss to the wood on next to the left hand ink bottle (photographed). Lock plate to the main compartment has no opposing key-hole, but there is a brass keyhole plaque present. The two lidded compartments do not close flush indicating replacement of one section of wood possibly. Inkwells are lacking lids. See additional images.
