Just for those of you who were wondering, everything appears to be original, including the black Gillette razor blade that fell out of it and the Coats and Clarks thread label that was wedged in the drawer. The finish is unfortunately not very good, it's peeling up over several areas and will have to be redone, it would definitely damage any silk or similar fabric run across it. There are also a couple of cracks in the wood (I don't think they're structurally bad) that weren't apparent in the photos but it's still a very cool piece of furniture. I haven't put my machine in it yet as I'm considering my refinishing options. I usually hate to remove the original finish but I don't think I'll have a choice with this. It's going to be tricky with the metal trim and the hinge has also been stained to match the wood. May have to resort to the professionals. It's mainly the top horizontal pieces that need work, the vertical ones are OK. Perhaps there's a way to remove the top and just refinish that? I'll have to look closer when summer is here and I have the time.
