I have a question i bought a larkin secretay bookcase that needs alot of work. I need to know what model this is, but label on back is to hard to read. who ever owned it last stained in jacob and wow they did a bad job it was stain over stain. All the doors are missing but there is a design at the bottom of it that im trying to use as a help tool. can anyone help me on this im looking to restore it to its natural look like it was in the early 1900s

You're going to need to shoot some pics of the whole piece. That detail shot doesn't tell much.

Thanks
