1941 by a Mr. J S Thatcher later amendments by Mr. J F Condition of the case is very good, no cracks or breaks, there is some discolouration as always with early plastic, see the pictures below. The ship and window have been cleaned and are in good, complete condition. The mechanism works well and has been re-wired with the metal parts correctly earthed.
