Condition is generally very good, with only some scuffs to the leather, and the clasp to the stationary folder is detached, but present. Needs new elastic piece to reattach it.
A very nice box to use for the storage of papers or stationary. Would look lovely on a desk. Made by a very collectable firm, this is offered at an excellent price.
