As you can see in the photos the cabinet is in really bad shape. But in my past, life I worked at a small business in Dallas that restored antiques. With that experience, I think I can get the old girl back in shape.
The serial #G3022862 indicates June 12 1913.
The cabinet will be beautiful when you have repaired it. Please post pics for us to enjoy. BTW, I have an old octagon lamp table that has much damage to the veneer top, can you tell me how one goes about repairing/restoring veneer as I see your cabinet has that issue as well. Thanks!
