Significant tarnishing, pitting, and oxidation are present on all metal hardware components, including the locks and hinges (photo 1). The vinyl piping shows wear and fraying at the corners (photo 3). The interior lining displays significant foxing, staining, and water damage, particularly in the lower corners, and a tear is visible near the top right hinge (photo 2).
