<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 4493336, member: 3235"]Those pulls, which do look original look very 1860ish. Nice fitted interior with the eight larger drawers. . . . I would imagine they have hand cut dovetails like the lower drawers - all evidence of hand craftsmanship. It's hard to tell the wood type on the secondary wood (drawer sides) because they've been stained - if it's southern yellow pine, this suggests American made. If oak is seen, likely English made.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
