I recently acquired this battery case in a Graflex camera kit from the estate of the original owner.
CONDITION:
EXTERIOR Cosmetic Condition:
Excellent original exterior cosmetic condition. No damages. No significant wear. No restorations.
No dings, dents, bends, breaks, splits, kinks, creases. No significant scratches or rubs. No corrosion or significant oxidation.
No signs of abuse.
The exterior is clean as found.
On very close inspection you may detect some typical light handling wear: scattered small superficial rubs and scratches. Nothing at all significant or conspicuous.
INTERIOR Condition / Function:
Not functional as found and will require repair in order to be functional.
At some point this case was stored with batteries inside and they leaked. There is some typical corrosion to the interior. The battery contacts have rusted. I did not attempt to clean the interior.
All of the corrosion seems to be confined to the interior of the battery compartment. The outlets, the spotlight bulb compartment, etc., are all unaffected.
The three sections of the battery case disassemble as designed with no issues.
