Philco 95 value
#3

 Something doesn't look right about the finish on the cabinet, for one thing it looks sort of dull, and it should be gloss. For another it doesn't look like there is any toner on the solid wood parts, like the legs, the moldings, and the edges of the cabinet doors. On my model 96 lowboy it also had this fogging effect around the edges of the front panels, and the sides of the cabinet were finished with a dark walnut lacquer. I think that someone stripped your cabinet at some point and refinished it. It's unfortunate that the photo of the model 95 highboy is of such a poor example in terms of getting the shading effect, it looks dirty or like someone smeared oil stain all over it.
Regards
Arran
