Hoping I found a good deal in these 1950's vintage birch veneer plywood cabinet doors at Restore, for $3 each. Full 3/4 inch thick. 30 inches tall by 15 to 19 inches wide. No voids found when trimming away the edge rebates. Appears to be 9 ply with maybe some poplar(?) layers. Had to remove the "hammered antique copper" hardware left on them, as well as lots of dust . Appear varnished but that can be removed. Hoping for lots of scrolling projects. Anyone with experience with this plywood? Does this compare to Baltic Birch plywood? Amazed at how thick the birch skin layer is on these old doors, compared to modern birch faced plywood I've bought to make  desks and entertainment system cabinets in another life.

I grew up with cabinet doors just like this in the early 1960's. Thanks. Don.
