[Phono-L] [MOCAPS-L] Type of Finish on Victor VV-100

[Jack Whelan]

Bruce,

 

Victor Talking Machines (VTM) offered a very wide selection of finishes on several types of woods. These finishes could be custom ordered.  The tiger strip of your oak wood is easy to identify, but the variety of stains on oak made identification a bit more difficult.   

 

I believe that finish is GM.  Gunmetal Oak. GM on oak is actually a bit darker than EE English Oak.  To match GM on oak today, I'd use Jacobean color stain. 

 

I've not seen any evidence that VTM used Irish Oak.  

 

Jack

I am looking to try an pin down what type of Victor Finish this might be, but it is hard to determine from the small samples that are shown in Victor Data Book. 

Anyone care to offer an opinion.

Thanks,

Bruce
