Condition
A rare example of good overall appearance. Minor old marks and scratches in places consistent with age, and wear to enamelled surfaces overall. Front of black sliding door with a number of minor horizontal scratches. Slight wear to painted finish in places consistent with age and use. Edge of lower shelf stamped twice on right hand (facing) end `11'. One or two small areas of restoration and re-touching to timber such as at extreme edges. An important yet practical example.
