I was lucky enough to have mine Handed down to me as a thank you for helping out on a job. fortunately /unfortunately 80 years of Love, Cutting Fluid and dirt has taken it's toll on it. Now it is my Drafting box that lives beside my Drafting Board. I every now and again think about popping the looser joints loose and Gluing them. Maybe getting some of that Restorer-cleaner for the wood and leatherette. Then I take my pill and see what a seriously Stupidly bad idea that is! any kind of " RESTORATION " would be an injustice , and would as good as erase 2 Lifetimes Mine and the Old guy that made his living from it. I mean every Scratch, Nick, Chip and Oily finger print is a record of a man's Life's work. "Like here I was, the is the contribution my Life made"
