The veneer panel look like they may be Australian walnut, or quarter sawn French walnut, cut on the diagonal, with a shaded finish. Weird how both sets have the wrong model number? According to what I can see this model was not at the end of the line, the later sets have crescent shaped dials. The round dial ones on there were probably like the Freshman sets from the 30s, someone bought the rights to what used to be a well known brand, and badge engineered some generic set made by an independent manufacturer.
