That tombstone grabbed my attention too! Never saw that one before. VERY unique dial. It's needs to have the finish redone properly though.

WOW.... that FBM will slip right into the triple digits... I would agree though, it needs to be stripped and have some of the toners adjusted. That "mural" grain on the front is just begging to be popped out. That "artwork" on the other hand... pointless trash.  "OMG! Layers in Photoshop! I'm a pro!!"

Oh, lovely... so that was yours?  Well, at least I can't say I was lying. Honest.

No offense to the refinisher, but I feel this unique set deserves to have it's finish upgraded.

The finish on the sides appears splotchy. I know toned lacquer from spray cans can be difficult to get even, but do you think this one may be hiding veneer damage?
