Stunning, simply an exquisite example, featuring beautiful plush leather exterior covering, intact sturdy leather carry strap, complete intact reversible ground glass panel assembly, soft supple original maroon red bellows, rich golden mahogany and cherry wood interior construction, and lots of superb polished brass hardware and highlights.
