Yes mart, it does. Other than some peeling mainly at the top front corners inside (likely from movement of the tray which is no longer.....) it's in fairly good shape. Musty but still there.

Use wallpaper paste to stick loose edges !! Spraying with lemon juice will sometimes help that musty smell as well as airing out !! Forgot,, one other thing you can do is to rub baby powder all around the insides let set a day or so in the sunshine and then vaccum. Might have to repeat a couple of times !!

Tales, does yours have canvas lining as well? I thought it looked to be from your pictures, but maybe that was a printed paper.

I have a deodorizer powder for my carpets due to an aged, leaky dog......as a last resort I may also try that.  The odor isn't overpowering, in fact from the outside it just has that old, familiar farmhouse smell I remember from the family home. Sunshine and fresh air may make a world of difference.
