Condition Report
Cover in good order except underside where moulding is well-patched.
Some losses to sliding interior covers, mainly to rear corners but also a split beneath. Typical losses to internal lead lining.
Exterior is quite faded but sound. the plinth base looks to be original, though there are two discreet holes to each corner where it may have had bracket feet..
