Hi

The original finish on these cabinets was tinted lacquer. Philco never used tung oils or the like, nor did they use stains on the bare wood.

Walnut veneers were usually used on most prewar Philco cabinets, and the 37-630X is no exception.

And the final lacquer finish on your cabinet would have been high gloss.
