    Overall appears to remain in good condition.  Please review the images.
    There are NO loose or broken pieces.  I do see some small holes on top of the cart.
    Despite it's age, the music can still be heard when pulled or pushed.

    I am sure the music is not what it used to be, but still pretty remarkable to hear it.
    My images appear to be slightly lighter than the actual color of the dark wood.
