I have a Philco 118H that needs some TLC. The cabinet veneer appears to be OK, just needing cleaning and condition.

My question to Ron, keeper of the Philco Furniture History book...
The legs on mine have a few pieces that came off the legs. The veneer on the stringers as well is peeling and missing from dampness it was exposed to.

What wood are the legs made from?
What is the cabinet finish/toner color used?
What was the veneer on the stringers?

Posted here rather than a PM so others, including "glennpr" can benefit.
Thanks in advance.
