I didn't mention any restoration details simply to shorten the post, but
since you asked, perhaps others might be interested as well.

It was described to me as "recently rebuilt and refinished" before I received
it. It is not yet in the shape it should be, and I will likely have much of 
the restoration work redone depending on the buyer's preferences.  
Fortunately,
nothing that was done so far is detrimental to a possibly forthcoming
"labor of love" type restoration effort and all the artwork hardly shows any
signs of age.

So as to not begin an endless thread on what is right and wrong in a
restoration, I will refrain from being more specific than that as far as
what has been done to it thus far, but I'll be happy to reply personally
to any inquiries. The URL, in case anyone missed it the first time is:
