The rectangular lid with molded front edge retains original shaped and molded cleats and snipe-hinges; deep well above single long drawer with molded lip and original brasses raised on superb cutout base with applied molded front bracket. Within the interior is a lidded till above dovetailed drawer; lid is molded as is drawer. Superior attention to detail including double-bead molding of drawer sides; two chamfered backboards, one being 21-inches in height. Beautiful original red paint is full coverage with top having the expected "in-use" losses. Original lock is removed for safety yet remains with the piece.
