There is some surface rust on the top and a few marks/dents around the outside as you would come to expect for something that has ben used from this era.

I used this is a ‘display’ piece rather than a practical item with my vintage Volkswagen split screen camper and vintage Volkswagen beetle, and its aged look of authenticity (for me) worked really well.

Second one…
