Mid-century portable 53-658
#1

One of the local antique dealers called me about this little guy.  It looked to be in decent shape, had a battery still in it but hadn't leaked and was cheap enough.  Hopefully the leather will clean up nicely.  (it has the back to it as well, its just not in the pic)
