Hi;
  I would go to the Constantine's website, have a look at their gallery, and compare the grain and colour, but strip a section off first so you can see the true colour. I don't think it's mahogany, but possibly eucalyptus. Philco liked to use a lot of quarter sawn French walnut veneer in their cabinets from the 1936-42 period, and French walnut in general, but used things like Zebrano and other exotic woods for banding. The only way to know for sure is to find an original ad or pamphlet describing what veneers were used which there may be for a 116X.
Regards
Arran
