It definitely has an ASMR quality to it.

And, not a single broken tab !  Amazing ! !

That's great skill but I'm  a bit disappointed with the sanding of the upper tin  part and  the litho replacement by stickers. That's an extreme restoration.

Just curious, how would this effect the value? I mean it was pretty much a wreck before hand.

Kinda agree with Stelab; while I’m a big fan of restoration and I agree the person who did this restoration has great skills, I think that restoration just went a bit too far. There was more original lithography that could’ve been saved, at least leaving the original makers markings on the final product.
