Hi Syl: Glad to see you post. I have 2 of the models previous to your set. One I refinished about 15 years ago, and the other needs cabinet work and refinish. The top and sides are dark like the darker parts on the front. They are not nearly as dark as your set. I have seen sets that I think were "freshened up" with a darker finish usually slopped on that was probably done in the 40's. May have been done on your set? A good photo is in Ron's book on page 68. Mine is the early book 1993
