Hey, guys.  Wonder if someone could tell me if the model 89 has a faux finish on the front.  Something that doesn't look like veneer seems to be flaking off the cabinet I have here.

There is a list of cabinets with photofinish in the Tech Section. The 89 cabinets are not on it.
Cheers,
Bob

Thanks for posting that Bob. So it looks like photo finish wasn't used prior to 1934? Ed

Don't think they were used till abt 1937.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
