09/08/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT : 3097- the case is petite and lightweight, overall the finish is distressed displaying signs of light use with some nicks, rubs, wear, and small losses, this may be intentional to give the appearance of age however, I am unsure, interior shelving is stable and retains a worn and dirty paper liner in need of replacement or a good cleaning, the back retains a sticker ‘Made in Italy’, overall the piece presents well
