[QUOTE="Cozwurth, post: 1004678, member: 12343"]Hello, As I said in my intro post, I recently inherited a Bassett chest from my grandmother. Here is what I know about it... - It was in the house that my grandparents bought just after WWII, around 1946 or so. - Both of my dad's sisters used it, as well as the matching vanity. (My mother has the vanity & stool). - It has had some repairs done over the years. (The front of the upper large drawer is on upside down. That will eventually get fixed) - All of the drawer pulls on this have been replaced. Mom's vanity only has one original pull left. The younger of my two aunts said that it was original. - Some (most) of the beadwork is missing. There are still several of the original wire brads remaining in one of the drawer fronts that used to fasten them. Does anyone have an idea when this was made? [ATTACH=full]206895[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]206898[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]206899[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]206900[/ATTACH] I am looking for original, or at least close to original, drawer pulls for this as well as mom's vanity.[/QUOTE]
