Description:
Beautiful two-piece drawers. The handle is screwed into the body of the tabs. It"s a fairly odd tirana for having such a short handle. The mango seems to be bone, although it could be some kind of Bakelite. The handle is covered by a material very similar to a leather, adhered with a tail of red color crystallized. This coating has been detached in part from the end of the handle, and in the region of its attachment to the base. It has probably been due to wear and tear, so we deduce that it has been treated carefully. The body is in very good condition, having the tips of the tabs in perfect condition. The tongues are graduated by means of a thumbwheel which is screwed onto a threaded bolt which is fixed to one of the tongues. It has very little dirt. The steel has almost no oxidation. Care has been taken to design and manufacture it to the smallest detail.

Comments:
Because the differences in tonalities between photos and reality are inevitable, it must be borne in mind that the color tones of the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the actual colors. It presents the own attrition of its time, as well as some stains. It has small damages. The data provided here are unconfirmed personal opinions.
