My mom purchased this in 1969. It has a brass grill front. Curtains can be added behind the grille to hide what is inside. The shelves are adjustable. Inside are two drawers with a divider in the middle. 
The first outside drawer is divided in three. The other two have no divested. The back is solid wood so the back can be visible. The pattern is r1495. The finish is #547. I included pictures of the scraps inside. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any clarifications.
