In the original photo, it's a 53-1750 (1953) or a B1750 (1954).  They came in only 2 colors -  Mahogany (most popular color at that time and massed produced)  AND Blonde wood color (relatively rare).  The Mahgony version had brown knobs (the left knob is missing but the right side looks brown) and so this was originally Mahogany. The blonde version had blonde colored knobs. I've restored 3 of these (2 blonde and 1 Mahgany)   Cheers !
