Bill - that spot on the left side was only some tinted lacquer that had not rubbed off. It's odd that on these 1936 Philco tombstones, most of the dark tinted lacquer did not seem to last. Maybe an inferior lacquer used at the time?
Alan - welcome to the Phorum, glad to have you aboard. They are better when they are free, yes? Even if you have to clean up and redo a bad refinish, as long as it isn't polyurethane...
