Philco missing bezel

I picked up a Philco 39-31 not long ago. It is otherwise in very restorable condition, but the bezel is AWOL. I assumed until today that the original was tenite and had warped, but the photos online of this and similar models appear to show a metal bezel. Is it plastic or metal and, either way, is anybody reproducing it?

Larry Bordonaro makes Philco bezels but I don't see that model listed. However your panel layout looks very very close. You could contact him.

Others have made their own out of a nice figured wood of some kind. It would take time and care but could be done with a jig saw and a lot of hand work.
