OH! she has a scrolly side plate on the left, like mine. that means she is older. love her. unfortunally getting the smell out of the cases is and ongoing battle. others have written good suggestions. go with them... my handle is worn, so I dont even use the case anymore. so you might not want to use it either. part of the problem with the smell is storage, but the glue they used back then........ I wont tell you what it is. enjoy your new baby.
