[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 6766129, member: 13464"]Ok... here are a few more photos. In this one, you can see the lighter, brighter, original lime green paint, and the gold trim around the leaves and flowers, which look brown, under the antiquing. I feel that this black "field" was added in addition to the antiquing... as they didn't seem to follow the edges of the gold well. [ATTACH=full]420575[/ATTACH] Inside corner construction... well covered by paint. Visible screw is one holding the board that the bun feet are attached to. [ATTACH=full]420580[/ATTACH] Corner close up [ATTACH=full]420588[/ATTACH] This is the back/outside of hinge 3 that seems to have been repaired. You can see some irregularity to the wood like it was cracked... it is quite a ridge when you feel it. [ATTACH=full]420589[/ATTACH] Close up of the gold trim... still pretty bright on the very outside frame of the lid [ATTACH=full]420590[/ATTACH] Lots of chipping of the "antiquing" in this pic also. [ATTACH=full]420591[/ATTACH] Ok... that is the last of my photos. Thank you all again... Cheerio for now! Leslie[/QUOTE]
