I'm not so sure. Not all products back then were fine hardwoods, and some commercial products from the 30s and 40s looked just like the one in that pic. I think it is very likely a commercial product. Most DIY things from back then would have looked more like soapboxes with stuff nailed on top (of course, some would have been much better, too).
