Hi Joe, It is actually from my Singer Spartan sewing machine.
It was covered with grasscloth, and a red/brown type of cloth, I thought maybe vinyl or leather. I didn't know if it would look nice stained, wasn't sure how the stain would look. And since I have never down staining before? I was thinking of using a technique I have seen on various blogs using brown craft paper.

Thought it might look nice. I would paint the top edge, maybe black. I will have to think about it.

I would say it was originally covered but most likely not with the vinyl or leatherette. Most were covered with cloth, paper, or the straw cloth like the Singers.
You could sand it, fill in all the divots and blemishes then stain and finish it. It would probably look pretty decent since it's made from real wood rather than plywood or masonite.
