Thanks. If the Tenite tuning knob was flat it would be more appealing, but nearly all that you see are just as warped. The case is that typical sturdy pressboard of the '30's in black, brown, and red. I conditioned it so it has a nice leatherette look to it. The front piece is bakelite and the dial is brass. I had to repair the handle, but it's amazing it's still there. These came with a shoulder strap that attached to the metal rings. I will likely put a proper replacement on it. The little handle is best not used again, even though the set weighs just 3 pounds.
