<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 140082, member: 44"]Similar to what? The bed bolt covers do not look similar in style to the pulls on the bureau to me. Those double screw bed bolt covers are a pain to work. You have to unscrew at least one of the screws to get to the bolts. Give me a swinging bolt cover any day over the double attached ones. A pair of cherry wood cannonball twin beds my mother had made at OSV, Old Sturbridge Village, in the late 1940s have ornate double attached bed bolt covers similar to yours. She had the beds made in cherry to match a cherry Federal c1825 bureau, a family piece, for our guest bedroom. The bureau's pulls are oval mount with bail handle, Hepplewhite, similar to the ones on your bureau. I think Mom always wanted to replace the bolt covers but never got around to it I believe your bed is a cannonball style bedstead.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, like Brad, I would suspect the bedstead to have an attached label if by Baker. In all honesty, without a label on the bedstead, I don't think you can call it by Baker. Do wait for Brad's opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
