<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 58602, member: 37"]Being solid mahogany, this might be a bit older than the 40s. Most of similar style made then was veneer. I do think 20th century. Maybe circa 1920 based on the label style. If you are going to strip and refinish, being solid mahogany is a plus. A lot of very hard to repair veneer problems got hidden by a coat of paint. Solid wood can always be sanded to eliminate defects. In general, this would not be worth the time and effort to restore. However, if doing for yourself, have at it and enjoy the results.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
