AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The paint needs some TLC. There are also minor signs of use, which I have tried to highlight where possible. No worm. It has actually always served as a postmaster in the family. Now, it has been banished to the shed. But I think someone could still get a lot of enjoyment from it.

From the proceeds, I hope to go out for a meal with my stepfather one last time, where this always hung on the wall. Then this photo frame will have fulfilled its purpose!
