I am in the process of correctly restoring a luggage rack for my victoria.

Does anyone have a close up colour picture of the correct walnut plate grain that was used on the slats.

I understand that the 180A may have had a different base colour to others.

Any comments, pictures would be appreciated.

Cheers
Bick

The info and pics are in the paint and finish guide. It's pretty much the same grain as used on the plate grain mahogany but with the base color as used on the 400-A.

All these racks used the same slats.

Here is a picture of my original luggage rack. I hope that you can make out the wood grain pattern.
