Quote:Interesting...some of those Clyde Shuler cathedral cabinets had toned edges and bottom trim, and some didn't. It seems to vary among cabinets of the same model number, not just between 1932 and 1933 models.


There were many subtle variations in the Clyde Shuler cabinets, not only finish, but in profile and the dimensions of the trim and also the actual construction.

It wouldn't surprise me if they had at least two different production lines for building the cabinets, with different moulding knives, and jigs going at the same time. When you think of how many baby grand models used similar styled cabinets in that year they must have been turning out several hundred cabinets a day. As for the finish that would likely very from one day to the next, probably from one finisher to the next, you see that with the glaze on bathroom tiles still, depending on who made them, one box of tiles will be slightly more beize then the next.
