<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave K, post: 2363506, member: 15423&quot;]I wanted to provide an update on the Stickley Table with Philco radio project.&nbsp; First, after disassembling the top and cabinet doors, there is simply too much damage - a lot of lacquer flaking on the doors and top, 2 areas where lacquer thinner was applied with a rag and 3 areas of a red toned lacquer overspray in various spouts.&nbsp; It simply does not look good and likely is beyond reasonable repair so I have started stripping the table.&nbsp; Its too bad it is in this condition but I want the radio to look right and that is the path I am on.&nbsp; The table by itself is not expensive based on the same table auctioned late last year.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have documented the radio though and it is indeed, 1930&#039;s.&nbsp; I was searching for Stickley catalogs and a Stickley Early Amercan furniture catalog from December, 1931 came up on ebay.&nbsp; I contacted the seller and it contained a Stickley 3100 table that matched.&nbsp; It is cherry and maple with either an Early American or Cherry finish and retailed for $25.&nbsp; The table was a telephone stand.&nbsp; Given the radio and table were new at the same time period, how good the quality of the adding the doors &amp; radio, I suspect a cabinet shop did this for a dealer as a custom piece but will never be able to prove it.&nbsp; Still this catalog was a great find to document what I have!&nbsp; It will be a little while before the next post but will keep the forum updated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave</p><p>[ATTACH=full]261579[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]261581[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
