Most of the top seems to be 1/4 saw French walnut veneer, book matched, which is what Philco liked to use on many of their cabinets, they just arranged the grain on the two side pieces so it runs perpendicular to the center section. I can't say for sure what the black inlay was without seeing it up close, it could be ebony, if you can find a small piece of ebony veneer to cut some strips from it would certainly work.
