Restoring a Philco 50-1724.  The top has a gold scrollwork pattern that runs all around the edges.  It's faded, and I can't tell what the original color of the top was.  I've seen pictures that show it as a forest green, but I've also seen where it's described as a thin leather overlay.   Anyone have any ideas?   Here's a picture of one in good shape, but the three front knobs tell me this is not a 1724 - but the top looks to be the same.
