Not sure I can wait that long to find out! Sure wish we had it to play with a bit.
Is there a hole in the pointy end on the left? If there is, I'd suggest a greaser of some sort. "Spring Greasers" for old cars somewhat...
Also, that side panel looks possibly Chestnut.
I think the plywood on the back is an old repair, since it goes over the hinges. Is that plywood on the front panel as well? Looks like...
