Looked at the ebay set. It's glaringly a strip 'n slobber refinish. I don't believe that these models ever had Di-Noc (printed grain) finishes, but we have to wonder if the black stripes may have been printed on the panels. I'll have to check on mine, but I've always thought that the black stripes were inlays. I have both the '36 and the '37 sets.
Another possibility is that on early cabinets, the stripes WERE inlays, and they might have done a run of cabinets with either printed stripes or none at all. Since the original finish is gone from this cabinet, that information is lost.
