It is attached to the underside by straight line stitching. There is a small cross on each side of box but no maker’s mark. All stitching is tight.

Inner flap has heavy crazing. Flap has both ears. Implement box has slight crazing. Tab and loop are present with no tears.

The interior body of the box and the implement pocket are very good.
