restoring an old wilkinson case

[napoleon]

Started my restore. Got all the materials (as close as I could to the originals). Looks like someone spilled ink on the set or they used a blue glue.
Now, I'm off to steam the old lining, get a pair of sharp scissors, turn on the radio, some glue and off we go.

Total cost of materials: 3.5$




(one of the reasons I wanted to restore)

And the final product:

 

[JECIII]

weird blade holder, i guess that is where all the slices in the lid came from?

Nope, in the first pic, you can see the three indentations in the top corner, where the blades hit it.
The cuts were probably made by the honing mechanism (forgot to put it in the pic).
