The first of three clocks to go by this name.  Mahogany with a cherry base.  It was officially known as a "tambour" but that's like calling the 4F53 "colonial".  The photo above was taken of a 4F05 I refinished.  I gave it away the same day it was ready (Memorial Day 2001).  At least I still have the pic...

Here's the rear (nice, eh?) 

Here's what the clock looked like when I got it.
