Bob is right. That cloth looks like it may have been original to a set of Bozak E-300 speakers (mid-late 1950s) or an old guitar amplifier, but is not correct for a Philco 81B.

Kenny's small herringbone pattern is a perfect replacement for the Philco 80B and 81B.

One more thing. You should remove those speaker screws and spray the heads with some Extra Dark Walnut. They were originally very dark brown.
