Jon you know what every place I've shown that machine people just love it, I never figured out why. Now I look at it and it's different, it's all gold's and browns in color, but multi tones of each, they blend and are easy on the eye. The cabinet was never covered in veneer, so all the joint work is tight, The drawer faces are solid oak, The design is stamped, but to the untrained eye, they love almost like real carvings.
Then the frame is painted a super dark metallic gray. so it's very dark with a hint of sparkle in the color. it looks old , but I think it's only about a 1925
I hate to do it , but it has to go back in the archives again ..
