Additional Notes & Condition Report
Appears to be in generally good, undamaged condition; no apparent damage such as hairline cracks or chips to any of the six glass panels; there are some light/superficial scratches to the iridescence that are not of any real consequence, however, there is a somewhat deep linear 1-inch scratch mark to the underside, but again, not of any great consequence; there is some blotchiness to the iridescence, notably, to the cover and side glass panels; the hinged cover opens and closes properly; the box appears to retains all four of its original flat square feet; the iridescence has an intense peacock blue coloration; the underside of the glass cover and the underside of the glass bottom are not iridized (they have a mirror finish), as made; similar finish (not iridized) to the interior side panels.
