As in almost all vintage items this piece has signs of wear, with some possible scratches and scuffs.

All of these things added together is what makes these vintage pieces so attractive to us. It takes us back to an earlier, simple time, when things were not throwaway and disposable. Repurpose-chances are it won't be used in its original form, the possibilities of use are only limited by your imagination.

Reuse-too much from our lives is throwaway. We need to find new and creative ways to reuse, so we do not completely drown in the disposable.
