    The exterior was originally covered in a ...waterproofed canvas... and the interior originally covered in a ...thin protective paper ....both of which were removed during restoration. Removing the coverings revealed the beautiful patina which only 100+ year old seasoned pine and oak woods can achieve! All hardware was cleaned, lightly sanded and polished. The exterior and interior woods and hardware were scrubbed and lightly sanded with a high gloss varnish applied to all surfaces. All edge sheeting, hardware clamps, front latches, lid banding, and hinges were also lightly polished.


    Not the same as yours.....but similar enuf !!

    So.........it is not in it's original condition ......

    So unless you're planning on restoring it to it's genuine look .......have fun with it !!! ;)
