worth restoring?

RK, I just bought one of these just about like this one. Tops are the hardest things to find for these. I can make any part required but it obviously better to find originals. I plan to mold one for mine and see if it turns out good enough. Hard to say about value really. To restore this one you are probably looking at $150.00, new hinge, top, cleaning rod flap etc and whatever else it might need. Oddly, from the front it looks normal but from the back it looks cutdown. Jerry Burney
