Had the luck to find this unused Victoria cover from the late 50's, it was found in an old music stores shelf, never used it's almost mint - some staining inside from the red/brown plastic.Image

Here it is next to my very used reverb unit cover, will have to work on getting the fold creases out, it's been folded almost 60 years.Image

The holy grail of tweed amp accessories.

Congrats, that's a great find!

Thanks Arjay, these covers are hard to find even in rough condition, it amazes me to come across one that has never been used at all.

Congrats on a great find! I wouldn't worry about the "fold creases" with that kind of find your gonna have to put up with some downside!

:lol:

The creases will work themselves out with time. To speed that process along, you could iron it using a low heat setting. Personally though, I wouldn't worry about them.

That's exactly what I did, laid a towel on top and gently ironed, took some out, but I will leave it on for a while to see if the rest of the folds come out on their own. It's been folded longer than I've been alive!
