As I tried to clean the side of the cabinet (just testing) with an alcohol,the finish started melting.The set is from 1933-34, I don't think they were using shellac that late (or did they?), yet I believe the finish is original (one can always tell otherwise). Even if it was not, who in the right mind would use shellac after stripping the lacquer? Any ideas?
