Re: FOR SALE: REGINA
I think that Ronnie is referring to the uncharacteristic looking wide grain oak, which looks like oak plywood... not typical of oak cabinets of that period. It seems that the two I have seen in person, had quartersawn oak cases...Amberola wrote:Is that case original? Looks like plywood?

Although NOT a requirement... you might have better luck by establishing a price that you would consider and then work from there.

The cabinet seems to be a copy made of modern type oak...billybob62 wrote:Could some of the wood have been repaired?

Re: FOR SALE: REGINA
I am no expert, but it looks like cabinet grade ply. Maybe George could chime in or someone who knows about these.
