Sometimes it nice to be able to take a simple thing and restore it for the next person.Even if it is only a BOX.... :lol:.Thank goodness for a lazer copier.I was able to replicate and add the loss.

Restoration or reproduction? :?:

Or maybe a little of both?

It looks heaps better now, and shouldn't continue to deteriorate.
Are you going to make a fitted lid to match also?

Shane I did think of that "label on the lid" idea.I just thought it might be a little "over the top" :roll: :lol:.
